Hello!
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 āŠŠµŃŠ¾ŃŠ½ŠøŃаā. 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.
My PC specs:
- CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 (4) @ 3.00
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 210
- RAM: 4gb DDR2
- Monitor: Philips 1280x1024~60Hz
may add more info if needed
Thanks in advance for any help!
