iMica Atom is fully Native, GMA graphics driver demo

After eighteen months of patience I have been rewarded with a work of genius. I absolutely love this GMA graphics driver from Michal Schulz. Cannot thank him enough, but hopefully you will by donating to him.

Loving this, very tempted to grab one.

Just one point, that "virtual machine" at the end isn't one, it's RDP which just basically displays the screen from a (probably more powerful) Windows machine. It's rather misleading to claim that it can run Windows that well in a VM. Other than that, great!

Hi Thanks for the comment, however I do try to make it clear that I am running remote desktop on Aros and connecting to a VM on another machine. To be clear, we do not have Virtual Machine technology in Aros yet, and the Atom processor with VM is rubbish, I have tried it on Windows on an Atom.

The point was that you can have a Silent connection to a fast machine in another room. I intend building on this soon, kind of Siamese System in reverse.

Thanks

> And to be fair, who cares about 1920x1080p when i cannot run a Blue Ray device on it because of the protection placed by Sony and other.

FreeTV, PayTV, download websites ... there are a lot of freely available videos with or without payment and all without the need of a BluRay player.

The problem is, we are not Microsoft or Apple and unless somebody can write the drivers that FULLY support the ION then it cannot be used. I was the first to try and get ION supported but for now it is not possible. Look just get an NVidia supported system with high speed processor and you can use Aros for 1080p. My IMICA Pro supports 1080p, just not the Atom system.

Any idea when we're going to see the multicore support on AROS?

@clusterukdevelopment apologies you did make it reasonably clear, seems I thought it was a good idea to research this thing drunk haha.

Love the way this can be vesa mounted. Very tempted on one if I have any money left over after holiday next week!

Scween dwiver! Nice lisp there mate!

Only kidding. Greetings and best of luck from the natami project! (we need aros one way or another)

You got to understand that the three videos was because he wanted to show the performance of the video driver. I'm sure you'll see 1080p videos soon too..

@flossenzosse

and of course the ION cannot be used in a silent fan less system. I was going to push for it but it was not practical as i would never have got drivers written. feel free to pay for them yourself though :-)
