HP Pavilion dv1130EA Notebook PC

Forum thread started by Cornolius on Thu, 2012-12-20 16:40

Hello,

I have this pc for a while now and more, and more the need to a lighter os become more pertinent. I found a very positive feedback about haiku on a site and decided it was the time to change.

Yesterday I clean the pc, installed haiku and two problems appeard:
- The wifi connection only finds one network, that isn't mine. It's a 802.11n WPA, mine it's a 802.11g WPA. The other pcs find even more networks, but not haiku.

- The screen it's oddly divided, I have something like this

                   L
--------------------------
|                  |     |
|                  |     |
|                  |     |
|        B         |  A  |
|                  |     |
|                  |     |
|                  |     |
--------------------------

The cursor moves from A to B. The line L should be in the left side of the screen... How can I move it?

Can somebody help me? (I hope my english it's good enough, for you to understand)

Thanks

For the screen, try a lower resolution:

Choose preferences from the deskbar, then screen on the drop-down list.

I get this problem on an old ThinkPad I have if the resolution is set too high. And if it works try other resolutions to see what you can use.

PS. Have you tried an external monitor?

I haven't tried another monitor.
If the BIOS it's centered and also the haiku logon... I don't believe it's the monitor.

I've already changed the screen resolution, was the first thing.

Find out which graphic driver you're using via:

listimage | grep accel

and remove (or just move to another folder) corresponding driver and it's accelerant counterpart.
After reboot Haiku will fail-back to VESA driver, see if it works any better.
