(likely Chinese rejects being resold)  the system normally runs 640x480. it doesn't use much of the RAM.

when you change resolutions, 800x600 and up, you use more RAM and it gets into the sketchy area. sometimes you can get it to work, other times it does the off the screen thing.

Like i said, that is very strange and isolated. You would think bad ram would cause problems long before even getting to the calibration screen. I cant even Imagine with all the problem there systems had over the years, the fustration that company put operators through, especially after the warrantys ran out.

lilshawn:
the flavor of Linux operating system they use is a very unusual system. you can have issues with RAM and hard drive but never know it until you change the software or update it.

the system always runs in the same memory space. The drive images have the data in the same places. hell, the data isn't even verified while it's written. if you have a bad sector on your drive (that the disk SMART hasn't sorted out), the system install will run right over it without verifying the data. The data remains corrupted.

same with RAM. It always runs in the same space...you load up a game that runs in 800x600 and boof! screen is all messed up cause now it's using an are of RAM it doesn't normally use.

the whole thing is a real kick in the nuts.

i'm kinda scared for their new LIVE system... that's windows.

end of hijacking

lilshawn:
well....if one where to keep the files on their own server...

...and one where to use some kind of protocol re-direction to their server...

...then the megatouch would think it was connected to the server.


or not  :dunno whatever.
