Does Haiku have a working Nvidia driver yet?

As the title states…

Hmm. As you didn’t provide a card type (assuming you mean a GPU), I’ll just give you some general links. First, try glancing at this thread:

https://www.haiku-os.org/community/forum/haiku_nvidia_driver

You can try the TNT/GF driver here: http://www.bebits.com/app/3636 or try to compile and use this accelerant add-on: https://github.com/haiku/haiku/tree/master/src/add-ons/accelerants/nvidia

This page might help, too: http://home.comcast.net/~chronosphere/nvidia-hack-haiku.htm

If nothing else, try building the latest Haiku source from GitHub or running the latest Nightlies and wait for support to appear for your card.

Good luck with it all!

The BeOS driver isn’t going to do anything.

There’s a driver in the tree that is already built and compiled so you don’t need to do anything there either.

Neither (both are the same original codebase anyway) work on anything newer than a GeForce 4 - not a 400, a 4 - chipset.

Newer than that you have the VESA driver which gives acceptable but not stellar performance and usually allows you native resolutions etc; but not always.

Thanx for that! I wondered why I was always doing VESA with my GE-Force 7025! I thought that card was old!
