| 1 | Hi,
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | Thanks for trying Haiku nightly build. Please note that these versions of
|
|---|
| 4 | Haiku may be unstable. Things may get fixed or broken from day to day,
|
|---|
| 5 | so if something is not working, try to wait and see if it gets fixed next
|
|---|
| 6 | day. If it's not, please report bug on http://dev.haiku-os.org site, and
|
|---|
| 7 | remember that bug could already be reported, in which case write Your
|
|---|
| 8 | experience as a comment to it.
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | Some things may cause trouble and we know it, so we disabled few things:
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | 1. APM is disabled, so Haiku will not power off Your computer after You
|
|---|
| 13 | click "shutdown". If You want to test APM and let us know about the
|
|---|
| 14 | results, change configuration in:
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | by editing file and uncommenting line:
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | "#apm true"
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | to:
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | "apm true"
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | After saving changed file, reboot and see if things works ok. If not
|
|---|
| 27 | You can either change configuration file back or (if Haiku doesn't
|
|---|
| 28 | boot properly) disable APM in boot menu (the one which shows up after
|
|---|
| 29 | You press space while Haiku is booting).
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | 2. ACPI is diabled. You can enable it by editing file mentioned above and
|
|---|
| 32 | uncommenting following line:
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | #acpi true
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | to:
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | acpi true
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | It also can be disabled from boot menu, just like APM.
|
|---|
| 41 | Some computers need both APM and ACPI enabled to power off, monitor
|
|---|
| 42 | battery state, etc...
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | There are some other "hidden" options, which You may need or want to try:
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | 1. We know that on some computers screen resolution is set incorrectly,
|
|---|
| 48 | and Screen preferences may miss some options.
|
|---|
| 49 | In such case You may want to try changing VESA configuration by
|
|---|
| 50 | creating file:
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/vesa
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | with following content inside it:
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | mode 1024 768 32
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | where "1024" is screen width, "768" is screen height and "32" is bit
|
|---|
| 59 | depth (it can be 32, 24, 16 or 8).
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | We hope You'll like Haiku as much as we do, and count on Your bug reports.
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | We are always looking for help, so if You like Haiku and have some free
|
|---|
| 65 | time to spare, check http://www.haiku-os.org/development and see what can
|
|---|
| 66 | You help us with.
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | Thanks again, have fun!
