Be careful, muazzam. The Miniluv watches you.

I don't understand you, moving what?

I guess Doctor meant moving yourself to some another country. Perhaps that isn't needed just for watching YouTube lol, and Combuster suggested a solution as well, that hopefully works.

Now I can get a VESA mode number from a specified width and height. In this demo, the bit depth is 24 bits per pixel. So when I input 800x600, the mode is actually 800x600x24bpp.
The numbers on the left are the number of timer ticks in hex, but at the top it is zero because I haven't initialized the PIT yet.
Green means success, yellow (not shown here) means warning, and red means error.

My OS waiting for a user to login with credentials setup on build, and displaying the contents of a file reading form an INITRD. I prompt them for username and password using the

Code: Select all

read

program in Bash, then use the -D option to define a macro for my authenticator. The login loops until credntials are legal.

(Yes it's running on a chromebook. I am using one of Koding.com's vm's as my build-run-test machine)

I was just going to ask what Linux distro is that.

Hehe. There was a time when I wanted to make my own Linux distro. But all I ever actually did was boot a Linux kernel using ISOLINUX. xD

I wanted to do so once too. I have achieved a minimal busybox system inside an initrd.

Seems like interesting. But how can we test graphical operating systems?

I haven't tested it out, but right now I just run qemu on the terminal and forward the output there with the -curses option. It works booting from the grub menu, and also seems to run my OS just fine. It should work for graphical os's. My desktop machine didn't have a network card and so I was using an ethernet connection in a less than ideal location. So now I just startup my chromebook and get back at it

After 5 days of a hell of debugging, I finally got my putch function to work in VESA mode. Yes, yes, like the image says: it's resolution independent. The screenshot shows text mode, VESA 800x600 and VESA 640x480, both in 24-bit color modes.
Scrolling was pretty easy and fast without even SSE/MMX.
Going to start work on cursor emulation, shouldn't be too hard.

Link to 1366x768 screenshot -- I have feelings for people with small monitors. xD
And once again, the font is by muazzam, thanks!

What feelings do you have for the people using cellphones to go online?
What feelings do you have for the laptop manufacturers who take away the vertical resolution of 800 and replace it with smaller ones, e.g. 768?
Do you think there's content very worthy of large screen resolutions? (btw, the image isn't showing; perhaps, the view limit has been reached)
