How to figure out what video driver Haiku is using ?

Forum thread started by macsociety on Sun, 2012-12-23 01:25

I have a new Zotac system with Haiku R1/Alpha4 installed and curious how I can tell what video driver is being used. Is it Vesa or ?

I think there is a command one can type in Terminal but I can't figuire it out.

This little Zotac zBox Plus supposed to have Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150.

Does Haiku support that or has it switched to VESA during my install and only using that?

Thanks

Hi macsociety,

it's easiest to open the Screen preferences and hover the mouse over the screen representation to the left. A tooltip will show either VESA or the name of your graphics card, which would indicate that it is in fact using a driver for it.
Alternatively you can type in Terminal: "listimage | grep accel". If that returns anything, a driver for your graphics card is loaded and working.

Try this:

listimage | grep accelerant

I'm too late

Great, thanks all.

Using real drivers and not vesa so that is cool.

So this Zotac zBox Plus ID12 is running on most all cylinders. Have to investigate wifi though. I think this box has it but running wired now.
