how are synaptic touchpads. . . ?

Forum thread started by rayyu on Fri, 2012-10-26 14:10

Hello people of haiku, you've attracted another newbie~
Sorry of this is a question that's been asked before. . . I can't really find any info on my own after searching for a while. . . Anyway, my shiny new netbook (lenovo ideapad s200) seems fairly compatible with haiku. . . tried it in live cd mode, it detected the wifi networks, it read and mounted the card in the card slot (though it didn't the 2nd time I tried, so maybe not. . . XD). I'm gonna do further testing, but it's kinda hard to accomplish that if the touchpad doesn't work properly :(
Vertical and horizontal scrolling work fine. I can click and double click by tapping, but it doesn't recognize the left and right click :( That's really the only thing getting in the way of a full hard drive install
In another thread I found it was mentioned that the area that recognizes the click is small needs precision, but I couldn't find it. So either it's not there or the spot has the circumference of a needle XD
Help? School starts in a week, I'd like to get it up and running by then hopefully~

Mounting Old BeOS CD

Forum thread started by ronald-scheckelhoff on Thu, 2012-10-25 19:17

I have an old BeOS Release-2 CD, circa 1998. When I try to mount it on Haiku, I can see a half dozen partitions on it in the DriveSetup application. Yet it doesn't mount. I know it was meant to be used with a BeBox, but is there a way to mount it on Haiku/Intel?

Install on a Promise FastTrak 100 TX2 ATA/RAID controller

Forum thread started by outis on Thu, 2012-10-25 17:35

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me install Haiku on an old PC that I have. This PC is a Pentium III 700 with a 440BX chipset, so the IDE controller supports ATA-33 only, which is painfully slow to run Haiku (believe me I've tried). I've tried to fix this by buying a Promise FastTrak 100 TX2 ATA/RAID controller which supports ATA-100, but when I try to install Haiku, the LiveCD boots fine but when I have to partition my disk via Drivesetup, my HD is nowhere to be found. I've thought that Haiku supported my controller and it does:
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/busses/ata/promis...
So I'm absolutely clueless about this issue, maybe it doesn't support the installation but it does support access to a drive attached to the controller, but when I boot Haiku it only mounts its own partition (the CD one), not the others that I have on the HD (Linux installation).
Thanks in advance!

Stacking and Tiling How To?

Forum thread started by el.tigre.20 on Sun, 2012-10-21 16:35

Hello,

For some unknown reason, I am not able to stack or tile windows...
Here is my setup:

HOST: Mac OS X 10.8.2
GUEST: VMware Fusion 5.0.1

version:
R1/alpha 3 (Revision 42211)

Intel 2.50GHz

1024mb RAM

Kernel:
Jun 18 2011 08:26:42

Any help? If I need a later version where do I get his version? I've checked the keyboard inside Haiku and the right alt key on the MBP is indeed the OPT equivalent, but when used, still doesn't activate the stacking/titling.

Thanks
