PC squeaker function did work, but the shutdown function didn't.

No, actually, I am a native English speaker (although my permanent "home" is not in an English speaking country.) I chose the name secretion for 3 reasons.jal wrote: This might be the result of your not being a native English speaker, but 'Secretion' is really a word with many negative and filthy connotations.

This is a known issue, but it is not really high on the priority list because, AFAIK, it works on real hardware. Although, with a majority of emulators not correctly switching fonts, maybe I should look into it more.blound wrote:I have the same problem in Vmware ServerJamesM wrote: Hi,
Works great in bochs - reboot function and speaker functions work. Qemu - the font doesn't get changed - so it's using a 8x16 font with a line height of 8px, so the lines are chopped in half!

You could've chosen any of a million other words :).Stevo14 wrote:1) Because it doesn't contain the letters 'OS'.
There are good reasons for that :).2) Because it is unique (I've never heard of anything else called "Secretion").
I, and at least one other person have negative connotations, and I'm pretty sure others will have too.3) Secretion is a process where a cell releases useful chemicals, not just waste products. I actually want this OS to be remotely useful. :) Also, for me it doesn't have any really negative connotations. Excretion, on the other hand, does. :)
Yeah, same here. I really don't know why it won't work, it's one register affecting font height, you'd expect them to get the basics right. Switching font height with int 10h (in real mode) does work however in both Qemu and VMware, so perhaps there's some other register as well. I should look at the Bochs BIOS, since Qemu uses that as well.This is a known issue, but it is not really high on the priority list because, AFAIK, it works on real hardware.

I'm sorry for going OT in your thread, but here the word "sekrét" usually means some type of a.. err, body fluid.Stevo14 wrote:3) Secretion is a process where a cell releases useful chemicals, not just waste products. I actually want this OS to be remotely useful.
Of course, the name isn't a matter for me, I call my OS Patlock from the Matlock series, but with a P on the beginning. Not sure why, 
)Yea, It is just a name. It can always be changed. Maybe Secretion could be the "code-name" for the OS and then I could change it to something else before the 1.0 release... who knows.inflater wrote:Of course, the name isn't a matter for me, I call my OS Patlock from the Matlock series, but with a P on the beginning.

That is a good idea. I will try to look at the Bochs Bios when I get back around to solving this video problem.jal wrote:I should look at the Bochs BIOS, since Qemu uses that as well.
Well, if you do I'd be interested to hearing what causes it, as (as I described above) I experienced the same problem.Stevo14 wrote:That is a good idea.
