I just tried Haiku Beta 3 on my 32gb USB stick (flashed in balenaEtcher) and I have a few concerns.
On start Haiku set my resolution to 1024x768 while my monitor is 1280x1024. Not big of an issue actually, I just changed it in the Monitor settings and got my Haiku in full resolution. It also said something about VESA, so I guess we can count my NVIDIA GeForce 210 videocard as VESA-compatible for Haiku?
When I first tried opening the Teapot demo it worked fine (I even changed some parameters) until I closed it. When I closed it I got this glitch (sorry for screenshot quality):
Itās the teapot from that demo, but left as a glitch on my desktop. When I moved my cursor on it or touched it with the blue selection thingy it just disappears.
The first few minutes of trying Haiku werenāt really different: glitches and long waiting for software to load (I guess itās just my USB stick being slow, not the Haiku itself).
Then I tried the Sandbox thing?.. Not sure how it actually should translate into English, in Russian locale it was named āŠŠµŃŠ¾ŃŠ½ŠøŃŠ°ā. Worked somewhat OK but also had graphical glitches when drawing. Video
After some time it started working like a charm, just teared a bit (which isnāt rare for UNIX-like systems working on NVIDIA).
The question is: is any of these issues actually caused by my NVIDIA videocard? Or is it just a Haiku thing and not related to my GPU brand?
Also, is there a fix or fixes for these? I really like how Haiku looks and feels if not counting these weird glitches and I may install it on my pc in the future.
Glad to know it isnāt my graphics card. 'll check beta4 in a few days, thanks for the link (also, should I complete the survey after testing or should I just reply here as well?)
Okay, so I decided to try latest nightly build of Haiku and it workedā¦ better! It was faster (which I think is because I didnāt change my locale this time) and the GLTeapot didnāt glitch (maybe it is fixed already?), so Iām not quite sure if I should report it or not. Should I?.. @Diver
Playground bug with rounded rects is still there, the 1024x768 resolution is still by default, screen tearing is there too.
A nice screenshot of my Live Haiku-nighly session:
Just did it with another nightly image (hrev 56637 x86_64)!
Didnāt find everything about my computer, I guess Iāll need to turn it off and check everything out physically to find out some info (like USB ports: I wrote some offhand information about those based on my memory, but the thing is that it is offhand and not 100% accurate). Or should I? I used inxi -Fxxxz output on my main machine (with Xubuntu) and listdev/listusb output while on Haiku, maybe there are more tools for it? Thanks.
