Radeon video drivers

Forum thread started by vidrep on Sun, 2014-02-23 23:43

Can anybody else confirm whether the Radeon drivers are working with their Radeon cards with any of the nightly builds since hrev46791?
I have tested a HD2400, HD2600, HD3450, HD3470 and HD6450 on three different PC's, with every nightly build (32 and 64 bit) since then, but none of the nightly's seem to have a working Radeon driver.

Slight problem with i855GME Extreme Graphics GPU (screen offset)

Forum thread started by GrandAdmiralThrawn on Fri, 2014-02-21 21:02

Greetings!

It's my first day using Haiku natively on a physical machine, so I'm trying to use it for real now! The latest official Alpha that is.

Now, this is a first generation Centrino platform, meaning a Pentium M "Banias" 1GHz ULV core sitting on an Intel 855GME chipset plus second generation Intel ExtremeGraphics.

My problem is, that the entire viewport/screen is offset about 20 or 30 pixels down. So on the top I'm seeing a thin black letterbox, and on the bottom, part of the video output is off screen. It's not unusable, but I'd like to fix this. And since subnotebook screens don't have that "auto configure" function.. well.

The screen is connected internally using a digital LVDS interface.

An excerpt of the listdev command:

device Display controller (VGA compatible controller, VGA controller) [3|0|0]
  vendor 8086: Intel Corporation
  device 3582: 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device

Also, listimage | grep accelerant says:

864        /boot/system/add-ons/accelerants/intel_extreme.accelerant 0x22a5000 0x22b2000    0          0

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I really don't want to switch off 2D acceleration. Installing a nightly build would be an option, but if there is an easier fix, i'd prefer to avoid that.

Thanks!

Awesome, this was my first forum post using a native Haiku OS machine! :)

Split Screen

Forum thread started by mbond on Tue, 2014-02-11 14:55

Just installed the newest nightly and the screen is split. About 1/4 of the left side of the screen appears on the right side. The remaining 3/4 of the screen (the right side) is on the left. So, when you drag your mouse off the left edge it appears to be coming in from the right edge of the screen.

incompatible video driver? known problem?

No idea what the onboard chipset for this motherboard is. found it laying around in the back.

Since when is /home/config readonly?

Forum thread started by Cerb on Mon, 2014-02-10 11:30

Subj. Since when /home/config is changed to readonly and folders like /home/config/bin moved to /home/non-packaged/ ? I have some issues with software that refers to scripts that must be placed in /home/config/bin

What's the latest nightly build with writeable /home/config?

Thanks!

New install hangs on "Grub loading"

Forum thread started by sremick on Thu, 2014-02-06 14:46

Hi there!

I was curious in just trying out Haiku as I fondly remember BeOS. I have a brand-new Dell Latitude E7240 to try it on. I wrote the anyboot img to a USB drive and booted with that and used it to install. Seemed straightforward enough. But then when I tried to reboot the laptop, it just sits at "Grub loading" and doesn't proceed.

I repeated and checked my steps several times and same thing each time. The "live" install on the USB drive runs fine though, so at least I was able to play with that.

I tried both R1A4 as well as the latest nightly. Same thing.

I'll need to give this laptop to it's real, final home shortly but figured I'd pass this along. I could hold off a while though if you wanted me to try stuff.

Cheers!

HELP !

Who's actually maintaining Sum-It nowadays?

Forum thread started by Kev on Fri, 2014-01-31 16:39

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I just finished reporting a couple crashing bugs at the sf.net site before I noticed it said the project is inactive, and that the dates
of other bugs were quite old.  One e-mail I tried at http://sum-it.sourceforge.net/ so far bounced, and was just wondering if I should have
reported the bugs elsewhere, or what the status is.  I've previously reported bugs on dev.haiku-os.org for apps I find in HaikuDepot, but
they tend to forward me elsewhere, which is why I went looking for Sum-It's own site first this time.
