What sound drivers does Haiku R1A4 support ?

Forum thread started by macsociety on Thu, 2013-02-14 19:12

I am having to use OpenSound on my system to get sound at this point.

No matter what I did I could not get sound to work with the stock install of Haiku R1A4.

Does Haiku supposed to support this nVidia driver?

My Listdev gives me:
vendor 10de: Nvidia Corp, device Nvidia 0774: MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio

Did I jump the gun by installing OpenSound or did Haiku supposed to work with this nVidia audio I have?

Thanks

Has anyone successfully compiled Haiku on a Mac?

Forum thread started by Alt-S John on Sun, 2013-02-10 01:57

Has anyone successfully compiled Haiku on a Mac? Before I tried compiling on a Mac Mini, I first tried installing from a USB flash drive and then from a DVD. As expected, installing from the USB flash drive was not successful. Installing from the DVD was not successful either.

When compiling, I received the below error message:

make: *** [cross] Error 2
ERROR: Building gcc failed.

I’m not sure whether Haiku won’t compile on the particular model of computer that I have been trying to install Haiku on, or whether I have been incorrectly performing the steps for the compile-method of installation.

Flakey audio that works one boot, not the next ? Have to restart media services all the time.

Forum thread started by macsociety on Sun, 2013-02-10 01:23

Since setting up my Acer AX1300 AMD Phenom based HaikuBox, I keep loosing my media preferences.

Let me explain....

I am having to use OpenSound since Haiku R1A4 did not see the NVidia audion system.

Since the install of OpenSound, I do get audion, but I lose it often between boots.

I can boot the system, try audio, it works. Upon next boot, no audio, I check Media Prefs and the NVidia HD Audio input and output are no longer being seen in audio settings.

I restart media services, reboot system, and 50/50 I get audio again. Doing this several times it finally remembers the NVidia HD Audio and I am able to play audio.

So, without doing any changes between reboots, audio comes and goes and I have to restart media services multiple times until I hear my speakers come alive.

Odd.

Anyone have this issue?

Acer Aspire AX1300 Phenom Quad 2.3GHz Runs Haiku decent

Forum thread started by macsociety on Sat, 2013-02-09 22:04

Here is a cheap quad core system that I have found runs Haiku R1 Alpha 4.

I have added it to he Haikuware Hardware List.

Mine is the Acer Aspire AX1300 Quad Core Phenom running at 2.3GHz.

AX1300-U1802A is the actual model

Video is only VESA but this system does offer two slots so I may pick up a different video card and see if I can get better video. But VESA does 1600x1200 on VGA port. HDMI port only 1280 x 720.

The NVidia Sound did not work direct from Haiku so I had to download OpenSound. That does work with the NVidia sound on this system.

Network port works fine.

Overall for a sub $100 computer, it works nicely and is Quad Core!

No wireless connection (iprowifi4965 driver)

Forum thread started by kostas on Sat, 2013-02-09 10:19

Hi to everyone!

I have a freshly installed Haiku R1 Alpha 4.1 release on my laptop with no real issues. My only problem is that I can only connect to the internet through a wired connection (marvell_yukon driver). My wireless hardware (Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 AG) is recognised correctly but no available wireless networks show up (/dev/net/iprowifi4965/0: No Link). No results through the use of the command line either (ifconfig /dev/net/iprowifi4965/0 list).

Any ideas?

Help installing Haiku on Acer Aspire AX1300 Computer

Forum thread started by macsociety on Sat, 2013-02-09 03:45

Found a inexpensive AMD Phenom X4 based computer today and trying to get Haiku installed on it.

Good thing #1 is the system does boot from CD Drive to Haiku R1A4 and network does work, sound no, but looks promising at this point.

Issues I am having so far are #1, I can't get Haiku installed on the internal SATA hard drive. 8-(

The system boots Haiku from CD, I run the installer and it all installs fine after I partition the drive to the Be File System, but after install the system does not see the hard drive to boot from.

At the Welcome to Haiku Boot Loader the select boot volume shows NONE and will not let me see the internal hard drive to boot from.

Very odd since Haiku installer goes through all the motion to install Haiku so why can't it see the drive to boot to?

Here are some specs on the system.

Acer Aspire AX1300
AMD Phenom X4 CPU
4GB Memory
640GB Hard Drive
NVidia GeForce 8200 Integrated Video Card
NVidia 8200 Chipset & Graphics

Does not see Hard Drive inside so even turning off all things for Safe Boot does not help as CONTINUE is not highlighted for me to select.

Any advice would be great!

alpha4.1 on an iMac -- mouse is frozen

Forum thread started by KantosKan on Thu, 2013-02-07 05:28

I have been using Haiku alpha1R2 on an iMac for 2 years. It has worked perfectly.
I installed 4.1 today from the iso CD. The CD boots (in safe mode), and the
installer runs perfectly. If I then try to boot from the hard disk (in safe mode),
it boots, but the mouse is frozen. I then tried checking all the safe mode options.
It makes no difference, the mouse does not work. Any ideas? If I boot into the
Haiku desktop from the CD, everything works perfectly, including the mouse.
But if I boot from the hard disk the mouse is frozen.
