Ok so not exactly a deep article by any means, but always nice to see Haiku featured.

Text-only (non-graphic) mode and nCurses

Forum thread started by HaikuForever on Thu, 2011-03-10 10:48

Hi,

being relatively new here, I am not still sure if Haiku supports a text-only (non-graphic) mode. I remember reading somewhere that Haiku is graphics-based only, so that there is no way to prevent the GUI from loading automatically at boot time. Could someone confirm this?

What about nCurses for Haiku? I saw it on Haikuware. What I would like to know is if nCurses, when loaded, will act as a temporary replacement of the GUI or if, on the other hand, the GUI would still be staying underneath (in memory).

Thank you

Enabling vmware modules in Jamfile?

Forum thread started by MikeIGG on Sat, 2011-02-19 21:54

I've been running Haiku in a VMware session.

I have figured out how to enable the vmware svga driver and accelerate in the build/jam/HaikuImage, but cannot figure out how to turn on the vmware_mouse (input_server/filter) to be built via Jam.

Any clues?

Haiku & SATA/SATA2...

Forum thread started by Kerdo on Fri, 2011-02-18 00:13

I noticed that its said Haiku cannot handle SATA or SATA2, and as I would like to have this on my PC, I've been seeking possible solutions:
1. Have both SATA & ATA in the custom build.
2. Have build use SATA or SATA2, but have ATA mobile-rack HDD with IDE adapter.
3. Been told some motherboards have this IDE emulation that would run Haiku on SATA.
Will any of these work? Pros and cons? Other options?
