What is the maximum resolution supported by the Panorama Video Driver?

The maximum theoretical resolution limit for Panorama is 65535x65535x32bpp. However, other factors outside of Panorama may significantly limit this.

The maximum resolution for the Custom Resolution module is 4095x4095x32bpp. This is due to 12 bits used to store the resolution in the EDID and the various BIOS mode tables.

The primary limiting factor for what resolutions Panorama will support is in the video hardware itself and the video BIOS that controls it. Panorama has been tested at resolutions up to 3840x2160x32bpp at 60Hz and works perfectly provided that the BIOS supports the desired resolution.

More information regarding Panorama’s capabilities may be found in the wiki.

Does ArcaOS include Bluetooth support?

No. At this time, we are unaware of any Bluetooth stack for the OS/2 platform. We are continuing to evaluate the need for Bluetooth support and the effort required to implement a Bluetooth stack for ArcaOS.

My company needs a new device driver for a component. The manufacturer does not provide one for OS/2. Can you help?

We can surely look at it. We’ve done this for other companies where a particular component has been replaced by a newer model and the existing device driver is not capable of handling the new hardware. The component manufacturer may not have a compelling business reason to supply an OS/2 driver for the component, but perhaps there is still a need to access it from OS/2 or ArcaOS.

Contact us to discuss your needs. We work under short or long term contract, with full non-disclosure agreements. In short, your information is confidential, and we are dedicated to keeping OS/2 running.

We also provide extended support agreements for companies and enterprises in need of OS/2 talent to maintain their infrastructure.
