[haiku-development] Re: Remembering window positions (pulkomandy)

Sat, 2013-03-30 03:45
For the rest of the windows in the system should I go through each one-by-one and solve the problem this way, or is there a better way that we could handle this in a common place like app_server? If I do one by one this way I'll create a bunch of settings files in home/config just for storing window positions... this seems less than elegant to me. I'm hoping for a more thoughtful solution to this problem. ...

[haiku-development] Re: Bluetooth and HID (Oliver Ruiz Dorantes)

Fri, 2013-03-29 19:45
Hello, 2013/3/16 X512 danger_mail@xxxxxxx So it will be nice to have Bluetooth support. Any progress had been made in this subject? Is it so hard to implement it myself? Unfortunately I don't understand Bluetooth stack architecture and it's Haiku implementation, so I don't know what to do. As I understand it's required to redirect byte stream from Bluetooth (how to get it?) to HID driver. Currently HID driver is hard-coded to USB and make it more general can ...

It's probably best to contact its developer Oliver Ruiz Dorantes directly. AFAIK he's the only one with enough knowledge about Bluetooth, and Haiku's implementation. ...

[haiku-development] Remembering window positions (John Scipione)

Sun, 2013-03-24 13:45
Hi Haiku developers, Something that irks me about Haiku is that, excluding a few instances such as Tracker windows, when you close a window and reopen it, Haiku doesn't remember the previous window position and so the application centers the window on screen or puts it in the upper left hand corner of the screen somewhere. For Deskbar prefs I have gotten around this by stuffing the window position into a BMessage and saving it to a file in the home/config ...

[haiku-development] Re: Aw: Re: hrev45320: Yet another non-obvious effect of -ftree-vrp optimization (Joseph Prostko)

Sun, 2013-03-24 01:45
I'm not particularly responding to any part of this conversation in general, but wanted to thank everyone, like Pawel, for exploring this. I also just noticed that the GCC 4.9 branch is in effect as of today, so maybe I'll start looking at targeting GCC 4.8.0 for Haiku instead of GCC 4.7.2. There are some dependency bugs that were afflicting us (that I think are fixed in the 4.8 branch), so maybe that can be leveraged to get our GCC up to date compared to 4.6.3. I'm not sure if issues affecting ftree-vrp are addressed in a satisfactory way in the 4.8 branch without looking further, but it's possible, I suppose. ...

[haiku-development] Bluetooth and HID (X512)

Sat, 2013-03-23 17:45
I have x86 based Acer W500 tablet PC and try to use Haiku on it. One of most important problem is impossibility of using Bluetooth keyboard. Without keyboard it's hard to do something useful. Onscreen keyboard is also missing. Keymap preflet can be used as onscreen keyboard, but it can input only to specific field. To input in another window it's required to drag buttons to that window (that's very funny but not so useful) or copy-paste text from sample input field. So it will be nice to have Bluetooth support. Any progress had been made ...
