Hi I am new to the world of Be and am having a lot of fun exploring it and learning all that it can do. I guess my question or questions if any one can help me is I am running a Celron 850 with 512 mgbytes of ram and a ati radeon 64 meg graphic card, I have installed BeOS 5 PE on a 4 gig partion of my hard drive and have had no luck with the display, well I have had luck with booting in safe mode and changing the display that way and it got me around the grey screen, that I dont mind but the only problem is that when I scroll down with a page, it seems to be a bit choppy, Is this a graphic card problem or some setting I may have overlooked, I have read somwhere in postings about something about too much ram fixes, but dont know if this would have anything to do with it. Anyway sorry to ramble on but any help would be apreciated

thanks

Hi, and welcome to the wonderful world of BeOS. :)
BeOS sadly dont have native support for the radeon videocards. But there
is an 3rd party driver available that should do the trick. You can download it
here: http://www.bedrivers.com/radeon2d.zip

The choppyness probably comes from that you are running in VESA-mode
which is really slow and choppy.

Here are some links you might find usefull in your continued BeOS
experience.

www.bebits.com (all kinds of software for BeOS)
www.frizbe.net (list of hardware supported by BeOS)
www.bedrivers.com (guess what ;)
www.betips.com (tips and tweaks for BeOS)
www.thegreenboard.com (forum dedicated to BeOS)

Thank You very much for all the links and tip, I am having alot of fun learning this new OS and any help is appreciated, hopefully soon I will be able to ditch the windoze platform and never look back ;)
