Hi @apgreimann, just want to request an update to this, even though it’s been a while since I last checked these forums…

Update to section “Power Status”: Turned out I was looking at the wrong battery listing in PowerStatus applet, for some reason it reports two battery slots when there’s actually only one, which seems to be common on Intel laptop chipsets… Battery capacity is actually reported properly, so I would like to change this section to “Battery recognized, working properly”.

Update to section “Webcams”: Would like to add the statement that the webcam was a factory option that my machine didn’t ship with, if that’s OK; something like “Webcam not present on this model; was factory optional component”.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Sorry it’s taken days to get to the list, I’ve tried to update everything for everyone; thanks RED-MAIO for testing your machine with Haiku!

@anon9051611 hi, the topic you’d replied to was the old list :slight_smile: so I’m replying on the current thread topic, and anyways – truly really sorry about the bad entry! However it got there, thanks for letting me know! Hope that hasn’t happened more than once, again sorry :flushed: The HP dc7900 at line 68 in the list has been removed, and I’ve taken this entry out on the website as well. I didn’t see a dc5800 there originally, but the new 5800 has been added on GitHub, I’ve credited it as LloydLynx

@BeDifferent-1, I searched the repo and found a ThinkPad W700, so I’m guessing this is the right model? It’s been updated by request on the mobile workstations page and GitHub

New hardware that has been added to the list:

Yes, the one I have was a bit of a strain on my financial resources… Cost me $350 US, and that was the cheapest one I found! :stuck_out_tongue: Though the fact is, they are fairly rare because they were extremely expensive when new (I think I read that the base price was something like $4,000). But I admit, I’m getting a bit off the topic of this thread…

Does something like https://bsd-hardware.info/ (https://linux-hardware.org/) exists for haiku?
it’s a program that automatically list all the components in your computer and the upload the list to the website, then you can add a comment to each component indicating if it works or not.

So rn I have the stuff down for Beta3, and I’m hoping to really improve on this project for the next release; I’m hoping everyone likes the new version when it’s ready :smiley: also I’m not the only hardware list, there’s also BeSly hardware database (with its system analysis tool) where you can test stuff with Haiku too

Hey Haikuers thought I’d give a heads up or update so everyone isn’t left going like ‘where the heck’s the list?’ I’m on my phone data for a bit (which is kinda limited bc I usually use wifi for everything but don’t have it rn) so it’ll be a few weeks until I can get back into things like maintaining the list again and the theme I’m working on, for now there’s the BeSly SAT (System Analysis Tool) at BeSly --- Haisly until I can get back to the HCL; thanks everyone

We all appreciate your efforts enormously.

However, I have a suggestion. The last time I looked, the list was divided up into different categories of computer (desktop, laptop, workstation, etc) and the categorisation wasn’t always consistent. I think it would be better to drop the categories completely, and also try to impose consistent naming of computers. All Thinkpads, for example, should be listed under IBM/Lenovo as manufacturer, Thinkpad as range, then T61, X230, etc., as model. At the moment (unless you have changed it) you often have to search in more than one category to find the model you are interested in.

Cheers

I have Installed the Haiku R1/Beta3 32bits on a old laptop Dell D800

The graphic card is a Geforce 4 4200 Go and I must use the fail safe graphics mode (I think VESA) or I have a black screen at boot of the OS.

The Ethernet card work.
The Wifi card work after have setting up the date and clock and also install-wifi-firmwares.sh command. And reboot. It’s a broadcom 43xx, very happy that work.

The sound work too and I think is a SigmaTel C-Major Audio.

It’s better to create a ticket for this bug and attach your syslog after getting a black screen.

This is done. And I have a working wifi now.

-------Reedit--------

The trouble with the nvidia Driver and the Geforce 4 4200 Go seem solved here.
I have update the bug ticket with the help of rudolfc.

This was the setting file of the nvidia driver to place in a directory and set the “force_pci” line to “true”.

All explanation are here:
https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/17412

I have attached the new setting file in the ticket that’s work with the laptop Dell Latitude D800.

It’s been a really really long time since I’ve given any updates on anything, and seeing a hardware list topic I was finally reminded about it :smiley: and anyways I quit maintaining this HCL, so for anyone seeing this topic in search results, old threads, or whatever, I’m encouraging everyone to use the list from @lelldorin at Hardware List for Haiku
