Force specific Resolution in VESA Driver

Forum thread started by ToraBora on Mon, 2014-06-23 05:43

Hi,

is there a way to force the VESA driver to use a specific resolution? I use a KVM Switch (DVI) and it seems that this one does not pass DDC information in a correct way, so i'm stuck with 1280x1024 as the maximum resolution even if my display is capable of 1920x1080. When using a direct connection, i can use the native resolution.

Additionally, is there a reason my system does not use the nvidia accelerant - i'm using a GeForce 8600 GT graphics card:

device Display controller (VGA compatible controller, VGA controller) [3|0|0]
  vendor 10de: NVIDIA Corporation
  device 0402: G84 [GeForce 8600 GT]

/boot/system/add-ons/accelerants> listimage | grep -i accel | grep -v grep
 1294                 /boot/system/add-ons/accelerants/vesa.accelerant 0xeac000 0xeb0000    0          0

The complete system log can be found here:

Help Please!!! Boot Problem!!! Installation Problem!!!!

Forum thread started by Fabio-IT on Sun, 2014-06-22 20:48

Hello guys

I would like to install haiku-os but I can not. I've tried everything, the Alpha version 4 freezes the symbol of the missile, the naughtly the same. I bought a laptop to use it with Haiku-os but nothing to do.

I tried to update the firmware of the bios and the dvd-rom, but it does not change anything, I tried to add different configurations of the boot-loader but nothing to do. I'm desperate I do not know more what to do.

My configuration:

Amilo 1655g

AMD Turion 64bit single core 1.8 GHZ
1GB DDR 333 ram
100Gb ATA 133 HD
Ati Radeon Xpress 200 graphics card.
Wifi Broadcom BCM4318

I hope you can help me.

Thank you in advance

Haiku on EeePC 701 4G

Forum thread started by Fallingwater on Mon, 2014-06-16 16:00

I have an old 701 sitting around. I tried various flavours of Linux on it but it never really felt decently quick. Yesterday I loaded the latest nightly and so far it works perfectly - I might just end up using this old thing again.

The one problem I'm having is that I flashed on the 701 a hacked BIOS that de-underclocks the CPU to its original 900MHz (it's downclocked to 630 in stock form). If I activate this option and run the CPU at full power, Haiku locks up during boot. It runs fine if I keep the option disabled.

I found this old thread -> https://www.haiku-os.org/community/forum/haiku_eeepc_701_some_questions_... <- that touches the same problems, but it refers to topics on the old eeeuser boards that no longer exist.

Basically I need either the updated fixed-fan version of the *other* hacked BIOS that thread refers to, or some way to change the frequency from software after the system's booted. I've zero experience with Haiku so I don't really know where to start digging to get at the CPU settings.

Wireless password?

Forum thread started by belfasteddie on Mon, 2014-06-16 15:10

Hi, I am fortunate enough to have a Wireless card that works by default with Haiku. It asks me at every logon for my password. Is there a way to stop this and have Haiku remember it?

cheers,

Eddie.

Disabling USB devices

Forum thread started by un_spacyar on Wed, 2014-06-11 00:41

There is any way to disable a USB devices?

For example, using listusb I get:

/etc/profile.d> listusb 
0000:0000 /dev/bus/usb/0/hub "HAIKU Inc." "UHCI RootHub" ver. 0110
046d:c21e /dev/bus/usb/1/1 "Logitech, Inc." "F510 Gamepad [XInput Mode]" ver. 2020
0000:0000 /dev/bus/usb/1/hub "HAIKU Inc." "UHCI RootHub" ver. 0110
0000:0000 /dev/bus/usb/2/hub "HAIKU Inc." "UHCI RootHub" ver. 0110
0000:0000 /dev/bus/usb/3/hub "HAIKU Inc." "UHCI RootHub" ver. 0110
0000:0000 /dev/bus/usb/4/hub "HAIKU Inc." "EHCI RootHub" ver. 0200

If I need to disable the second device (Gamepad), how I can do this?

Thank you!!!

Black borders around display, overscan?

Forum thread started by thegman on Sat, 2014-05-31 01:20

Hello,
I have messed with Haiku before, but only just now decided to give it a real go and install on hardware, not virtual machine. I've got it installed, and it boots just fine, and runs great. Only thing is there is a 2 inch black border around my display, i.e. the Haiku desktop does not go all the way up to the edge of the screen.

I've had this problem before using this screen (it's a HDMI one), using my Raspberry Pi, and RISC OS and also Plan 9. Each OS had the black border and each could be resolved by disabling overscan in a config file.Is it possible to do this on Haiku? Otherwise it's working great, so fast on the tiny little Atom processor, networking is fine, it's just the display before it's perfect.

Thanks

Garry

Haiku on i7 4770 based PC with Intel HD 4600 GPU?

Forum thread started by macsociety on Thu, 2014-05-29 02:17

Have a new Maingear system that neither alpha 4 or nightly will boot on it. System is i7 4770 based with 16GB ram, Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87 Motherboard, with on board Intel HD 4600 video.

Get no video when trying to boot from CD.

Same computer has a nVidia Ti750 Video Card and I get the same no video.

So no idea if just a video issue or?

Should Haiku boot on any of this?

TJ
