I have paid the £28.85 for the driver, not happy but that's life I guess!

@ sicky

I have paid too.
And I dont even have a SAM 460ex .

the customers decide how a market works...

I believe the confusion here is that this 'new' driver will do the same thing as version 0.32 for the sam460 but for newer gfx cards

overlay has always only been for much older cards

AmigaOne XE G3 800 Mhz - 640 MB Ram - Radeon 9200 SE + AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6

This is a great idea to raise revenue for needed development from os4 customercs. Following from this announcement OS4.2 could be could be seprated into different bundles with differnt features and individual components could be bought seperately. For e.g

os4 starter - Exec, vga display driver, mouse driver, ide driver, 16 bit filestystem
os4 home - Exec, vga display driver, ide driver, mouse and keyboard driver, 16 bit filesystem
os4 professional - Exec, vga and radeon 2d display driver, mouse and keyboard driver, 32 bit filesystem. 68k emulator
os4 ultimate - Exec, vga and radeon 2d/3d display driver, mouse and keyboard driver, 68k emulator, 64 bit filesystem, shell with scroll bar, web browser.

Additional components could be purchased at a later date such as gallium and onboard sound drivers.

I suppose that those who are complaining are already owner of an X1000 or an AmigaOne500/Sam460...(is it a french forum ;)

I'm not yet such customer and I took this news as a very good one. I don't even want to know where the Amiga world would have been without Trevor.
Of Course Acube, AmigaKit, Hyperion are to be thanks too, but life is life and I hope that one day I could buy a powerful enough Amiga (1080p video at least) at a lower price tag.

X1000 users get it free of charge (as far as I understand) because it is included in hardware price. Buyers from Acube have to pay extra.

this is great news as it shows development is pushing forward. Surely many of us here have willingly donated to numerous bounties in the past and will continue to do so in the future so consider this small fee a donation to Hans for all his hard work

A good friend of mine worked for ATI here in my home town for many years and all he did was work on the install scripts for various video card drivers and he was getting paid very well indeed so we must put things into presepctive here in Amiga land

@kamelit0

AmigaOne X1000 First Contact customers will receive this driver free of charge as it has been already costed into the production cost of the X1000.

@#6

Most certainty he does not.

It is a well known fact that even we, Sam440, owners enjoy 720p playback.

Why not djrikki as well?

Wasnt so nice pay fior an OS with outdated gfx drivers and than pay a third party for have the updated drivers...
Hope that on AmigaOS4.2 that drivers was system default and not a separaate packages like CGX on old Amiga classics...
Also imho, better ask some donation fee than a real price for that...

just my 2 cents...

No one stops A-Eon and Hyperion to deal with each other and raise the price for the next full release of AmigaOS - then incl. the HD drivers.

@cha05e90

that for sure...
however when I buy an OS I'm sure that OSes have a decent gfx driver included...so atm we sont have AmigaOS4.2 so that price ask can have some reason, but when AmigaOS4.2 will be released I think there was any reason to ask something...

@ Trevor & Amigakit

I know this is about the X1000's, but what are my options if my Radeon 9250 blows up,on myA1XE-G3 800. If this was an OS4 enhancement, these drivers would be included with the OS.
As it is this is really an X1000 enhancement, or just 3rd party drivers availability, in the same way as the warp datatypes.
I purchased those (years ago) so I am not adverse to paying for something to enhance what I am doing. I just wonder what will happen when Radeon9250's are no longer available, will we A1 owners be left in the lurch?
