Back when the ACPI changes were implemented Haiku started hanging at boot (something with the usb controller not getting handed off from the BIOS IIRC) … anyway It boots up now on the latest git code I checked out and built!
So Working Wifi (atheros), radeonhd 4200, usb, touchpad, audio… also MediaPlayer played ALL the files I tried with it this time which is a massive improvement from a year ago.
Not working my NTFS volume for some reason wasn’t being shown, 3d acceleration and cpu throttling(laptop overheats and shutdown when loaded and poorly ventilated rather than just downclocking). Another minor annoyance is often the backing of window tabs often don’t get updated when they resize. A good example being when you browse to different pages in web+ with a window tabbed with web+ the titles get garbled and such since they seem to be writing over one another and then not updated correctly. As glaring as that issue is I imagine I may have just miss compiled something.
hrev44724 … and yeah its gcc4hybrid so sounds like all known issues. Sad to see them go into the alpha but its an alpha afterall. And hey… they will probably be fixed before long leading to alpha5 !
I would have build a gcc2hybrid but gcc2 failed part way though initially so I built the gcc4 hybrid … and then reattempted building gcc2 after running linux32 (I’ve never been able to build Haiku without that… at least not gcc2)
