Hi,

Thanks for trying Haiku nightly build. Please note that these versions of 
Haiku may be unstable. Things may get fixed or broken from day to day, 
so if something is not working, try to wait and see if it gets fixed next 
day. If it's not, please report bug on http://dev.haiku-os.org site, and 
remember that bug could already be reported, in which case write Your 
experience as a comment to it.

Some things may cause trouble and we know it, so we disabled few things:

1. APM is disabled, so Haiku will not power off Your computer after You 
   click "shutdown". If You want to test APM and let us know about the 
   results, change configuration in:

   /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel

   by editing file and uncommenting line:

   "#apm true"

   to:

   "apm true"

   After saving changed file, reboot and see if things works ok. If not 
   You can either change configuration file back or (if Haiku doesn't 
   boot properly) disable APM in boot menu (the one which shows up after 
   You press space while Haiku is booting).

2. ACPI is diabled. You can enable it by editing file mentioned above and 
   uncommenting following line:

   #acpi true

   to:

   acpi true

   It also can be disabled from boot menu, just like APM.
   Some computers need both APM and ACPI enabled to power off, monitor 
   battery state, etc...


There are some other "hidden" options, which You may need or want to try:

1. We know that on some computers screen resolution is set incorrectly, 
   and Screen preferences may miss some options. 
   In such case You may want to try changing VESA configuration by 
   creating file:

   /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/vesa

   with following content inside it:

   mode 1024 768 32

   where "1024" is screen width, "768" is screen height and "32" is bit 
   depth (it can be 32, 24, 16 or 8).


We hope You'll like Haiku as much as we do, and count on Your bug reports.

We are always looking for help, so if You like Haiku and have some free 
time to spare, check http://www.haiku-os.org/development and see what can 
You help us with.

Thanks again, have fun!
