Every month or so I attempt to boot Haiku natively on a MacBookPro (C2D Oct
2006 generation), and today was the very first time Haiku actually booted to
desktop (with Rev 29458). To install Haiku on MBP, I used VMWare Fusion
(bootcamp mode allows access to physical disk partition) and Zeta (there is
probably an easier way, but this works for me), and the ATA driver.
This is a status of what works:
Keyboard works 100% (US keymap)
Mouse (trackpad) works 100% (but obviously no right click or two finger
scroll wheel)
VESA only offers 1152x864x32x75 (should be 1440x900x32x60) - need to
investigate how to fix this. Manually modifying the vesa kernel settings
file has no effect. BTW - under Fusion, I can set 1440x900.
Ethernet (Yukon Marvell) works 100%
Sound - Media kit says that it identifies Intel HD audio, but no sound comes
out of speaker or headphone - may need to play with channel settings
Wireless (Atheros AR5008) - not supported
GLTeapot gets 320-350 fps with default window size. Nice. 34 seconds to
desktop.
Anyhow, this is a nice moment (for some), since this is the hardware
platform we first saw BeOS running under ... how things have changed.
Cheers.
