[Gambas-user] hardware requirments?

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

the problem its the winbuntu derived distro mint..

i installed gambas in the very older eeepc asus with 2G disk ssd internal,
512Mb ram and geode CPU 800MHz perfectly..

but recent stupid linuxes (including recent kernel) now removed a lot of
support for older hardware lest take a example to xorg:

since 7.3 xorg does not support intel i810 complety, lie to said that its
supported due that chip does not offer 32bit dept only 16bit "true color"
so newer xorg does not complety provide all the chip capabilities
so if you have intel 810 based chip and wants DIR and opengl, xorg must be
fewer rather thant 7.2  so an older linux must be used..

in my case i backporte gambas for older linuxes.. like debian lenny and
squeeze perfectly.. of course, thanks to benoit that still does not "up"
the requerimients...
