Where does grapics driver go?

Forum thread started by Snuhwolf on Sun, 2010-04-25 21:55

I got Haiku installed on a Dell Dimension 4100 by selecting "disable user add-ons" and "safe video mode" during boot. I had BeOS Max on it previously. Unfortunately I forgot where the graphics drivers need to be installed and how to make a sym-link. The Rage 128 pro card worked under BeOS and should work in Haiku so I downloaded it onto Haiku. Where do I put the files?

‹ updating Haiku alpha to the latest nighly build vesa+graphics drivers is it normal? ›

From what I can find using google, BeOS video drivers are not necessarily compatible with Haiku and all the working video drivers are already included.

This shows how to manually install a driver however:

Following the instructions on the link provided no joy. I put the drivers into all the right places and added the symlinks too. Looking at the console debugging output suggests the driver should work but gave one cryptic error...devfs:"rage128" api_version missing. So
