Haiku on Asus eeePC Laptop?

Forum thread started by stuart on Tue, 2008-02-12 19:13

I've ordered (but haven't yet received - so I can't test any of this just now) a Asus eeePC 4G.

The question is, will Haiku work on this machine?

Given the form-factor, it'd be a fantastic piece of kit to show Haiku off on...

I guess the primary concern is that 800x400 resolution (driven by Intel GMA graphics) won't be comfortably supported. If the sounds and wireless network are supported, the final question is one of how well Haiku could run from flash media - preferably, the system partition would never be mounted read-write, and no swap files would be used.

Finally, does Haiku have any form of power-management/suspend support?

Cheers,

Stuart

haiku images in qemu.

Forum thread started by tdobson on Sat, 2008-01-12 21:53

Hi.
I seem to be having some minor trouble running the daily built vmware/QEmu images of haiku. Yeah I know they aren't meant to be "Stable" but that isn't exactly the problem I have been having.
The problem I'm having is that it doesn't seem to boot past the BIOS, which I'm sure can't be right. In fact I tried several images, but with identical results. A screenshot of what the problem is can be found here: http://image.bayimg.com/hailgaabj.jpg
but basically it seems that HD 1 is not detected.

To be honest. The problem is probably me not knowing how to use QEmu or something like that, but I just wondered if anyone else could shed any light on this?

For the record I'm on debian gnu/linux etch, with qemu 0.8.2

Apologies if I should have rtfm.

cheers

a network drivers question, etc

Forum thread started by darkblu on Tue, 2008-01-08 05:55

after some pause last year during which haiku would not boot on my smp pc, things are again all smooth and rosy in supermicro P3TDDE land. as a result i'm very happy, and equally grateful. thanks, haiku team!

now, there's one bit of hw that still does not work here, and it's the intel 82559 10/100 ethernet chip that comes on that mobo. i'm aware of Hugo's success with freeBSD net-driver compatibility layer, so here's my question re that:

is there a known good haiku port of the freebsd driver for said chip? if not, where do i start with trying to get it to work under Hugo's layer? no, i'm not a driver developer, but i don't mind rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty when needed.

Question about the configuration Axel D.

I will buy the new platform. If Axel D. can give full configuration his Intel Core Duo to have how the largest compatibility from Haiku?
Best Regards

Installing to an Old PC

Forum thread started by GeneralMaximus on Thu, 2008-01-03 17:02

I'm sorry if this is the nth time somebody is posting a "how do I install Haiku" topic, but I'm really having trouble with this thing. I've messed around with several tutorials for hours, and I still don't have a working Haiku installation.

Just a bit about my machine. I finally got myself an old machine to try out Haiku. It's a very old Nippon Electric Company computer (I think the guy who used to own it smuggled it from Japan or something). The entire thing is just one unit. Speakers, monitor and the computer itself is all integrated into one huge box. It has a VIA Cyrix M3 processor on an old Intel motherboard. Very generic stuff, really. It has 128M of RAM and a 20GB ATA hard drive. So I guess it's perfect for Haiku.

hey-scripting

Forum thread started by ahab on Wed, 2007-12-12 17:28

How can I activate with hey a Tab in a View of a Window ? For instance in the Media-preferences-GUI or in Boneyard-GUI are Tabs to click on and then changes the content of the Window. With hey I am able to click the buttons of a View, or fill input-textfields etc., but until now I found no way to activate such a Tab, after hours of trials and playing around with hey :-(. Only after manually clicking on the Tab, I can continue with hey to work in the changed View/Window. My search in the web (bebits.wiki, freelists-blogs, attila mezei etc.) was not succesful or the websites were down (e.g. betips.net), so I hope somebody of the Haiku-/Be-Developers or specialists are able to help. Thanks so long.

building specific drivers

Forum thread started by TheNerd on Mon, 2007-12-03 01:30

Say I'm building Haiku from a Linux install (followed the instructions on this site) but now want to build a specific driver that is not included in the build by default. How would I do so? Do I have to edit the Jam files to tell it to build these drivers?

Thanks
