Hello all,
I'm a longtime BeOS follower, and am the proud owner of a copy of GoBe Productive and Corum III. I've got Haiku running under VMware 5.5.1 using one of the .vmdk files available from /scmidp at HaikuHost. Build number is 18220.

Where (apart from the directory tree boot/beos/etc/synth) does fluidsynth look for SoundFont files during midi playback??

I have tried several *.sf2 files in the directory above but MidiPlayer doesn't produce any sound when a midi file is dropped on the player. It DOES look like someting is happening as the cpu loads-up a little during (what I imagine to be) playback.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone else have tried running Haiku under QEMU with the Accelerator Module (a.k.a. kqemu, see http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-accel.html)? For me, Haiku boots fine when the Accelerator Module is disabled, but if enabled I get a kernel page fault during boot. And needless to say, virtualization is much nicer than emulation... :) I am using the raw images from http://www.schmidp.com/index.php?option=com_files&path=/haiku/images/ btw, and to verify that nothing was wrong with my QEMU setup I also tried AROS and ReactOS, and they both seem to work fine with kqemu enabled.
