The machine models and graphics types listed in this document are the ones that have been tested by DeskArtes or its partners to be suitable for DeskArtes IDS use. The list is not complete and also many other machine or graphics types will probably work ok with DA IDS.
To make the list to cover larger set of all the possible hardware/OS combinations
you can send information of the combinations working well with DeskArtes IDS
to email address support@deskartes.fi. The information will be then added
to the list.

Deskartes IDS is currently not supported on either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows Vista.
Deskartes IDS is not currently supported on 64-bit version of Windows XP.
There has been problems running background commands on some Deskartes IDS installations
on 32-bit version of Windows XP. In this case for example the image conversion commands
from the File Window middle list menu fail, with the error message like
"[1] + Done(134) ? 2816 Abort Rgb2Bmp" in the IDS startup window. Currently there is no
solution known to this problem.
With some graphics adapters there has been problems in window refreshing
when running Deskartes IDS on Windows 2000. Usually those problems
can however be fixed by decreasing the hardware acceleration of the
graphics adapter or changing its color depth. In most cases the 24-bit
or 32-bit true color has worked best.
With older driver the default hardware acceleration settings of the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro cause drawing errors in DeskArtes IDS. Disabling the acceleration for OpenGL antialiasing partly fixes the problem, but that also slows down the graphics speed substantially. The problem can be fixed by upgrading the driver from ATI web-site (to version 6.14.01.6255).
DeskArtes IDS with the Exceed 5.1.3 cannot be run on machines having Intel 855G/865G graphics adapter. The 3D Extensions of the Exceed version 5.1.3, which is included in the DeskArtes IDS installation media, cannot provide OpenGL functionality with this graphics. As result of this only the "wireframe" and "box" drawing modes are available in IDS.
There is currently no solution known to this problem with the Exceed 5.1.3. The problem
can however be fixed by running Exceed 6 with the runtime support for Exceed 5 programs.

The Apple X11 is as default included in the Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) installation. Therefore it is not
included in the DeskArtes IDS/RT installation package for Mac OS X 10.5.
If you have done a
modified installation of Mac OS X 10.5 and left out the X11, you should install that first from the
Mac OS X 10.5 installation media (DVD), before installing the DeskArtes IDS/RT.
The DeskArtes IDS/RT installation package for Mac OS X 10.4 only supports the Intel machines.
If you have a machine with a PowerPC processor, you can install the DeskArtes IDS/RT from
the installation package for Mac OS X 10.3. The X11 version included in that package
however works only with Mac OS X 10.3, so you need to install the X11 from the Mac OS X 10.4
installation media (DVD). Then use the modified installation type for installing the DeskArtes
IDS/RT and leave the X11 out from that installation.
The DeskArtes IDS/RT installation package for Mac OS X 10.3 only supports the PowerPC machines.
If you have a machine with an Intel processor, you need to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.4 to
be able to run the DeskArtes IDS/RT.
