The new Version 1.0 RC2 (Release candidate) adds a few new features and bug fixes which improves card initialisation and solves intermittent boot problems which affected some Sapphire RadeonHD 6570 cards. The fixes and improvements include:-

Golden register initialisation code added (golden registers are a table of registers supplied by AMD's hardware engineers to be initialised on startup)

Improved the VGA (UBOOT/CFE screen) shutdown code for Evergreen+ chipsets. This solves the intermittent boot problems which affected some Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 cards. (and possibly others)

The Frieden brothers said before AOS 4 was released that it would be a long way back to where Amiga where or even close to that. I too was pretty frustrated over the situation so I decided to buy myself a PC and play games on it. Is it better to stay sane and wait for a system to work well or to support the system and go crazy because this and that doesn't work?

Also if you are really wealthy buy something besides the X1000 or SAM because the shortcomings are frustrating and even more so the longer you're forced to deal with it. It's even more frustrating than using Linux sometimes (if you like AOS most that is).

I do have hope that it will be solved in the future.
