I've reached the point where I really need a Haiku laptop, and
of course it needs to be fully functional. I've been pretty baffled at
trying to track such a beast down, by looking at them in BestBuy and
places, and trying to match those to ones listed as found-to-work
on HaikuWare.
Then I came across a post by Scott a couple of years back that
mentioned ZaReason, who specialize in Linux boxes. As they're
just around the corner [well, across town...] I asked if I could bring
a loaded USB stick by to try out. They're very cooperative folks,
so I was over there this afternoon. Everything worked beautifully
... *except* for audio -- which is the one thing I *really* need!
Sound certainly came out (from MediaPlayer and my own fluidsynth
stuff) but it was just a stuttering hash from which I couldn't pick out
anything much of what it actually was.
It would be great if somebody has a clue as to what might be wrong.
And what is likely to be the difficulty in fixing it. How variant is "HDA"?
Their machine obviously works in Linux, so I assume that any required
code could be transported to Haiku.
I did a 'listdev', and the entry for the audio is:
device Multimedia controller (Audio device) [4|3|0]
vendor 8086: Intel Corporation
device 1c20: 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio
Controller
I wasn't able to test networking of course, so I'm making the assumption
that it works (I see a rtl81xx driver in our set, and the Network pref
recognized
it):
device Network controller (Ethernet controller) [2|0|0]
vendor 10ec: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
device 8168: RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
Be nice if Wifi (which it has) worked too, but that's not so urgent for me.
It seems to me it would be a great asset to have a supplier of known
compatible boxes. As I said, they are very cooperative, and seem to be
nice folks. Most of the comments I've found on the web are very favourable
too. The machine I tried ("Strata") is priced at $750, which is not super-cheap
but reasonable. I want to buy one (if we can get it fully working)!
Help me out... (:-))
Thanks,
