Description

The problem started after device ID for 8400GS Rev. 2 was added to the nvidia driver (​here). Blacklisting the nvidia driver makes Haiku able to use the vesa driver and boot to desktop again.

Ah yes, this is because the app server these days assumes that if a kernel driver supports a card, the accelerant does also. But the accelerant does not, and also does not advertize supporting it.

There are two options:

  1. Fix app server to actually ask and fall back to vesa if no accelerant found;
  1. Remove id from kernel driver again .

Of course over here I have code that partly supports this card but I did not release it since it's still a hack of sorts.

app_server should be fixed here no matter what.

Hi waddlesplash, should a seperate ticket be created for that?
