Sunlight OS v0.1.0

Post by Andr3w »

Hi!
It is a first public release of Sunlight OS.

I've rewritten my kernel with HyASM. For two times.

Well.. I have a boot menu, a GUI, buttons, labels, taskbar..
What I don't have - apps. I'll include them in next release.


Link: :arrow: Download! ;)

Have fun!

Hi

I tested your OS on a IBM ThinkPad A20m. It booted fine but the mouse didn't work. I couldn't see if the keyboard was working. It ran at 2-3 FPS which seems quite low.

Also tested on a noname machine where the mouse and keyboard didn't work either. I also had to reboot and choose a lower resolution since my screen couldn't handle as high a resolution as the graphics card. Maybe you should consider being more conservative and use a lower default resolution

It looks really nice - keep up the good work ;)

OK, I'll use 800x600 as a default resolution. Thanks for testing! ;)

It looks great, but I just tested it on vmware, and it seems like mouse is not working.
I mean, mouse just moves all over around. It is unable to control the mouse pointer :)

I couldn't test it on a real machine cuz I don't have floppy drive.

Yeah, I know about this mouse driver bug. You could test it in Virtual PC for now ;)

This is pretty cool. 8) Worked great; although the "mouse bug" was still present..
Keep up the good work!
Give a man Linux, you feed the nearest optician ( Been staring at the PC too long again? ).
Give a man OS X, you feed the nearest NVidia outlet ( I need more GPU power!! )
Give a man Windows, you feed the entire Tylenol company ( Self explanatory :D )

looks nice, I get 24 fps in qemu and the mouse works except for it being a little laggy.

Also are the buttons supposed to not work?

Works great in VPC and buggy in Bochs.

As said before, default screen resolution is too big.
When the bootloader is loading the other files, you should skip all the dots cause it feels like a tutorial bootloader. Otherwise, it's really nice!

Good work

They are supposed to work. It's mouse bug. I'll rewrite mouse driver for next public release - I'm just busy with some things now..

Thanks for testing! :)
