Getting Haiku to work
Submitted by Duane R. Bailey on Sun, 2007-08-19 16:00. Tags: Newbie Developer Forum
Hi, this is Duane (bailey.d.r |at| gmail.com); I introduced myself a few days ago on the mailing list.
Well, I downloaded haiku, and it's running OK in vmware, but my usb keyboard and mouse don't appear to work when I boot haiku up off of my ide drive, and I can't stand working in vmware (the gui is horribly sluggish, and there doesn't appear to be sshd for haiku!).
Also, I can't figure out for the life of me how to install software on haiku. There aren't any development tools, ssh, or a webbrowser, so the distro is effectively useless since I can't develop on it. What should I do?
What hardware are you guys using, BTW? I have a USB mouse & keyboard and IDE drives and while I haven't tested it in a little while, it worked the last time I used it.
I tried an older Microsoft IntelliMouse USB: It lit up but didn't move the cursor.
Somewhere I read only ohci USB was already supported and not ehci, might that map to USB 2.x vs. 1.x?
Or perhaps you enabled legacy USB support in your BIOS?

To use USB 1.1 devices, a UHCI or OHCI driver is needed depending on what make of controller you have. UHCI - Intel and Via, OHCI - the rest. Only UHCI is somewhat finished for Haiku.
EHCI is used for USB 2.0, but cannot be used for USB 1.1 devices. This is implemented for Haiku.
You could always wget things from bebits.com. That's what I do for smaller programs, but for some reason wget stops downloading larger files at around ~600kb. Well, it actually gradually slows down until it hits 0.0kb/s and then I have to kill the process.
