Hi, I installed haiku to a partition on my macbook 2,1. Built-in touchpad and keyboard don't work, (but this is a known issue) so i have to use an external usb mouse and keyboard. The strange thing is that i can use them only at once, because only one usb port works well (the one nearer the front). If i connect the mouse to the other port it lags and it's unusable, same thing for the keyboard. If i connect them to the first usb port instead, they work perfectly.
That's annoying, because all the others devices seem to work without any issue (it also connects automatically to my neighbor's unencrypted wireless network :D ) and i really wanted to use Haiku on real hardware (it's very fast, even much faster than OSX!!)
Is there any solution for this?

Hi!

I've finally decided to try Haiku on real hardware; and boy am I impressed! It's kind of like when I first tried BeOS and it felt so quick and smooth. Great job guys.

The computer I'm using is an older Thinkpad A30 (PIII, Mobile Radeon...) and it works great overall. I haven't tried using a WIFI card yet but I think I'll wait a couple of months for that since it looks like great things are coming.

One thing that is not working for me though is the sound. It seems that the audio chip is detected because I see an AUICH device and I can select it for output. However if I get a sample .wav file on the internet and try to play it, nothing happens. I added the open sound driver and then I get an ICH3 device I can select for output but the same thing happens: no sound. Can anybody help me troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks!

Is it possible to run Alpha 2 on a Eee 900 currently?

I'm looking to do a review of Alpha 2 and would love to be able to run it on this netbook as part of that review.

Currently I am attempting to boot from a usb cd drive (cd burned from the official alpha 2 iso) and it hangs on the fourth boot icon.

Any thoughts?

Hello there,

I've just upgraded my motherboard, and I'm a little confused about FSBs, RAM, etc. My memory is 1333Mhz. According to the data, my Core 2 Quad has a FSB of 1066Mhz. I think I understood from somewhere that when the multiple of the RAM speed is the same as the multiple of the FSB speed, the pair work best. So, as 1333 / 4 = 3333. Am I right in thinking that setting the FSB speed at 333, which, in the lets me choose a DRAM speed of 1333 in the BIOS, will give me the best performance, even thoguh 1333 is greater than the rated 1066 mhz? If not, please could you correct me.

Thanks.

Confused- :p
