Why is Haiku so slowww on my machine?

Forum thread started by player2 on Fri, 2010-02-12 03:19

Hi all! I've been following the Haiku project for about 4 years, and I was so excited the other night to see that R1 is available! I used BeOS in college for an alternate computer "universe" where I could write, check my email, and surf the internet in a different setting and mindset.

I installed Haiku last night and was expecting the agility of BeOS, but everything is incredibly slow on my machine. I'm using a Dell Inspiron with a Core Duo processor, 1.73 GHz, and 1 GB of RAM. Windows 7, my primary OS, runs fine. Haiku should be blazing fast compared to W7, no? What could the problem be? If it means anything, I'm using the CD to boot to my install, but I feel like that that shouldn't matter.

Easy way to change to custom screen resolutions?

Forum thread started by steveh on Thu, 2010-02-11 20:18

I have a netbook with VMWare player running Haiku Alpha.

Is there an easy way to add custom screen resolutions to the default resolutions on the Screen setup through some config file with no re-compilation involved?

Thanks.

Japanese input ?

Forum thread started by GuestOne on Thu, 2010-02-11 15:59

Does anybody know how (or if) Japanese input works on Haiku???

I've found Japanese keymap and some files from Canna package, so I thought Japanese ime should work in some way, but I just can't get how.

Compiling X...

Forum thread started by The123king on Tue, 2010-02-09 12:34

Firstly, i have absolutely no experience with X and it's source base, but i would like to compile it on Haiku. Where should I start and any prerequisites i should know?

I'm very confident with the command-line and have written and compiled a few C programs on Windows and Haiku, but have next-to-no experience with X.
