Good News - AHCI ( SATA ) Driver Ready For Testing

Forum thread started by tonestone57 on Mon, 2007-10-01 00:40

For those with AHCI SATA controller. You can test out the driver & report any bugs & problems back ( to bugtracker ).

I found this to be some really good news as many people use SATA drives these days.

So, those of you with AHCI go ahead & give it a go.

New in the forum and haiku-distro idea :)

Hello, before nothing to present/display to me, I am Spanish and great they fan of Haiku, I hope with anxiety one first version of tests while I am using those of vmware, first of all to give him thanks to the equipment by the work that realise.

My idea would be a distribution of Haiku a autoactualizable Pendrive to be able to use our Operating system from any PC with our desktop applications, multilanguage and others, at the moment work only in ideas, although I would like that she left ahead someday.

Much luck and intentions with the project, from Spain, _-Caleb-_

USB Keyboard and Mouse

Forum thread started by tigerdog on Wed, 2007-09-26 16:07

My configuration requires me to use a USB Keyboard and Mouse on the system I use for BeOS/Zeta/Haiku. The system BIOS supports legacy device emulation and I'm able to run everything from BeOS R5.0.3 to Zeta 1.5 without trouble. Somehow (probably because Haiku is missing one of the USB flavors - EHCI?)

Has anyone found a workaround for this issue? I'd really like to be more active in my Haiku testing.

Buy 2 Get 1 OLPC Laptops And Haiku

Forum thread started by NOSPAM on Mon, 2007-09-24 16:38

OLPC (One Laptop Per Child Project) had announced G1G1 ("Buy Two Get One") for public. One laptop is sent to buyer and the other laptop is sent to a child in a poor developing country.

Is this 500 MHz AMD Geode laptop compatible with Haiku?
Is there any Haiku device driver for OLPC laptops?
Thank you.

What would be a good hardware configuration for Haiku

Forum thread started by TheNerd on Thu, 2007-09-13 11:52

For those of you who have a working Haiku build on real hardware...

What would be the ideal HW configuration to run Haiku on in its current state? I would consider buying a new machine to run it if I knew what to get.

How many lines of code?

[quote]A 2001 study of Red Hat Linux 7.1 found that this distribution contained 30 million source lines of code. Using the Constructive Cost Model, the study estimated that this distribution required about eight thousand man-years of development time. According to the study, if all this software had been developed by conventional proprietary means, it would have cost about 1.08 billion dollars (year 2000 U.S. dollars) to develop in the United States.[20]

Can one run VNC with Haiku? Will Haiku support xen?
