http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=2755, http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/view.php?id=2652

The users of Panorama VESA can share information:  

which monitors+adapters work well in large video modes (1920x1080, etc)  

 

* JFS.IFS - some bugs are fixed, there is work on reliability of the FS.  

What other developers can do? It\'s necessary create more disk tools.
