virtual calls in interface kit (and probebly others)

Forum thread started by Remco.Johannes on Sat, 2014-06-07 20:42

What does this code does?
BBox::MouseMoved(BPoint point, uint32 transit, const BMessage* message)
{
BView::MouseMoved(point, transit, message);
}

Isn't this redundantie, when BBox::MouseMoved ommited the bview::mousemoved is called anyway right, whitout the overhead of the extra fuction call.
Or mis i something?

Also if it is possible how can I make the name of the distro in the source code file?

BlogPositive

Forum thread started by pistooli on Sun, 2014-05-25 17:03

Hi All,

Anybody using BlogPositive in Haiku OS?

I love the concept to post in WordPress blog from Haiku, but for some reasons my posts go to draft rather than published, so I need to log in to publish them.

Many thanks for the help.

Is there a kind of count down?

Well, on top of the main page one can see a lot of source activities. But that does not imply to get an idea on how far a next release would be. Of course it would be very difficult to schedule a precise date. But how about another kind of info, based on the percentual rate of still to be solved tasks or problems. Actually it is nearly impossible to get any impression of the nearness of the coming goal.

My new (more-or-less) Haiku-ready notebook

Forum thread started by humdinger on Wed, 2014-05-07 15:57

Hello there!

After my old notebook kicked the bucket (for real this time), I had to take the risk of ordering a new one...
I'm glad to report that I chose well. :)

My notebook has arrived and seems to be quite well supported under Haiku! \o/
It's a Schenker B513 with a 500gb SSD, i7-4712MQ (quad-core), and WLAN intel 6235.

This works:

  • The intel HD 4600 graphics only work in VESA mode, but I don't care as the native 1920x1080 resolution is available for the notebook's panel. Update: it's now using the intel extreme driver.
  • WLAN works
  • Sound works (though the speakers aren't brilliant, but loud enough and sufficient for me. Music and movies need headphones anyway.
  • Power off on shutdown and rebooting works.
  • Power saving works well enough for the machine being cooler than my Core2Duo I had before. The machine is silent for everyday idling like surfing the web etc.

Here is what's currently not working:

  • The Fn-keycombos. Most annoyingly the backlight control, i.e. it's constantly running on full power.
  • No two-finger scrolling and no way to assign a scroll-area with the Touchpad preferences.

Only had it for a day now, but I'm very pleased so far.

Here are some diagnostics: listdev, listusb, listimage-drivers, sysinfo.

Regards,
Humdinger
