One has the greatest admiration and respect for what Jemimah is doing. But this whole issue of HW compat.& black-screening, synch-ing, etc., although difficult, tedious and unexciting for coders, imagine what it's like for mere users like YT. Dialogue failure between users & coders has set back this entire field by years since inception. Why do users like Mint and Android? Because they work o.o.b. - no screen fiddling, no codecs to install, no Flashplayer to select, ad.inf. Like all worthwhile endeavours in science, 2.5yrs of purgatory, late nights, pain and anguish, then - bingo - everything slots into place and you're another Brian Cox TV phenomenon! At least, that's the kind of truth I had to disillusion generations of my past students with, who eventually went on to live normal, happy, successful and enlightened lives.
hmm well you can`t please everyone. I guess if we go to the Mint forum noone is complaining there...
I have testet saluki on the following gear, from saluki 03 to 14. Was stuck on 12 for a while HP HDX 9050, Asus G73JH, Acer Aspire One 150. and a another acer laptop that i dont recall the model number. All goes straight to desktop with the correct resolution.
Looking forward to the luki 15
