Bad luck, I justed talked with Eric from NoahJi's. Next time I ask him what
he's actually developing. But I'm surprised he's developing something.
MacroSystem Germany is claimed to release a new Retina software early December.
But nothing happened so far. The new software is claimed to also work using the
system screenmode database.
Anyway, based on my experience from the past and knowing the current situation,
I don't expect a real working solution from them.
Regarding ADPro: this is another example of how awfull and rushed solution the
stuff is. Real awfull. The best Retina low level solution I have seen so far
for displaying images is PhotoWorX Pro from Olaf Barthel. Viewing PhotoCD
images in 1500*1000 in Hicolor on an 20" screen is a real joy and the only
reason why I prefered the Retina over other boards with better software but not
as good hardware. But VT and ADPro's have serious problems in my oppion and it
doesn't seem anybody seem to care at ASDG.
