2013/5/9 Vladimir Kovalev maverik.mail@xxxxxxxxx: Fredrik, can you please provide more information about what has been already done and about the task itself (if any), so I can quickly jump into it. Ok here goes. It's not a task without challanges, so I understand if it doesn't fit you. we use ACPICA to call ACPI system so first thing is to read the ACPICA specification[1] which describes the functions available. Currently the driver builds and detects the prescence of functions for ...

Thanks for your hospitality. It is good to see such a friendly community. I need some time to get familiarized with the tasks you suggest and to make a decision. Fredrik, can you please provide more information about what has been already done and about the task itself (if any), so I can quickly jump into it. Thanks. ...

2013/5/8 Giovanni Mugnai musical777@xxxxxxxxx: How should i change this part of code to quit/kill Team Monitor on CTRL ALT CANC event when LockWorkstation is active? I have solved. This is what i have done: //msng.SendMessage(B_QUIT_REQUESTED); new BMessage(B_QUIT_REQUESTED); ...

Hi and welcome, If you want to get your hands dirty on driver development, I can suggest the stub driver for brightness and display-controls[1]. A lot of people would like to have those controls and the ACPI and the ACPICA specifications are quite good. The driver detection code is done, what is needed is installing handlers for notifications and acting on these. See 'ACPI Extensions for Display Adapters' in the ACPI spec. ...

Hi all. My name is Vladimir Kovalev, I'm from Russia (Moscow). I'm a professional C/C++ developer with 5+ years of experience. I have a bachelor's degree at Applied maths and computer science and master's degree (Moscow State University) also at Applied Maths and Computer Science. With deep knowledge of C/C++ (including new C++11 standard), STL, Boost and other libraries I want to help the haiku community to develop Haiku OS. ...

Hi, in these days i've recompiled Lock Workstation: an app which provides a login mask to lock Haiku boxes with a password (and i've also made a modern login mask, only using the magnificient WonderBrush) :-) Screenshot: For security reason, when LockWorkstation is activated, mouse click is disabled and also Team Monitor *should* be disabled, but CTRL ALT CANC when LockWorkstation is activate, will bring Team Monitor window, with ...

2013/5/4 Ingo Weinhold ingo_weinhold@xxxxxx It's ugly anyway, so why not just: indices.AddItem((void*)(long)**index); (addr_t) would be the correct type. Thanks, I used long, will change to addr_t. ...

How is it okay? The app is not waiting on user input so a modal dialog is wrong. Maybe excusable because it's supposedly short-lived but this is just not the kind of tradeoff we should be making. Ok, I went with minimal changes and only removed the QuitRequested hack. Instead I added a static method GetWindow in the BAboutWindow class. This will return the existing window, if there is one, or a new window if there is not. This gets us behaviour close to what was there before, allows the window to close, and remove the fAboutWindow field from callers, making their code a ...

The app is not waiting on user input so a modal dialog is wrong. Maybe excusable because it's supposedly short-lived but this is just not the kind of tradeoff we should be making. How is it a tradeoff when there is no point at all to keep this window open? Making non-modal about windows is not just wasted effort, it's also completely superfluous. ...
