Copy kolibri.img to your USB stick This works fine on my older pendrives of up to 2Gb. When installed on my USB pendrives of 4Gb or more, the boo...

button tracking behaviour

When clicking a button in any application and then moving the mouse-cursor over an adjacent icon on the desktop, that icon gets selected. When releasing the mouse-button while still over that icon, the corresponding application might even start. Likewise, when dragging the mousecursor over the deskt...

how to (auto)scroll when stepping in MtDbg

When stepping in MtDbg, the display does not scroll and code lines disappear below the window. :(
Making the window higher, brings a few lines back in view.
Is there a means to scroll?

Alt key problem

On my computer, after booting Kolibri from a USB stick, the default keyboard is "English".
When using the "rd1/develop/Keyascii" application, the Alt+key keystrokes are not reported.
The problem is fixed, by selecting any keyboard (even the English) using the setup application.

Re: Latin_o2i

I present a second version of the "latin_o2i" routine in which I added deadkey handling. To get a key, call the "latin" routine with eax=2 instead of the syscall 2 function. An additional parameter (ebx) must point to a 12 byte structure (three 32-bit variables). On return, eax c...

Re: Latin_o2i

your procedure destroys registers, unlike mcall 4 Sorry ..I fixed it. I added a surrounding pusha/popa to the routine and updated the file. printing of western text in IRCC fails because the built in UTF8 routine recodes to CP866 instead of 1252 :( I can improve Latin_o2i to accept and print utf8 f...

Latin_o2i

I present you a simple implementation of the Western Latin font by including a small (3K) file with a precompiled routine. To print text in Western Latin, the included routine must be called instead of the syscall function 4, using the same parameters. Please look at the "PrintLatin.asm" e...

Re: Rufus now supports KolibriOS (ISO -> USB)

On other machines (a tower hp/Compaq/ubuntu, and a hp-laptop/win7) KolibriOS and FreeDos auto-boot from a USB stick without problem. On an acer-packard-bell easynote TE69BM model "Z5WT3" laptop (win 8.1) I can't get KolibriOS nor FreeDos to work. In the setup firmware, I can only choose &q...

Re: Rufus now supports KolibriOS (ISO -> USB)

I just purchased a new labtop "packard bell easynote TE69BM" model "Z5WT3" to experiment with KolibriOS. It only has UEFI boot firmware, and legacy BIOS is no longer available. I've put "USB FDD:" on top of the boot priority order, before the "Windows boot manager&...
