Just to close out this a bit: Yesterday I got bored of waiting for the build factory to come to life so I updated my Haiku tree on R5 from last summer (pretty painful on dial-up!). It built eventually (there was some crud left in the rc folder from the last build that I had to "make clean", took a while to figure that out) and I did indeed get sound out of my SB Live. VLC was fairly usable although I had to disable MMX and there was no overlay, so CPU usuage was a bit on the high side. Anyway I was able to play with Haiku for about 30 minutes and shut it down successfully, so great work on the stability lately. It's great when things just work - I'd copied the Net+ binary over from R5 and forgotten about it, and double-clicked a html file in Haiku without thinking about it, and Net+ instantly opened and rendered it. That was cool. Seen some commits relating to getting some bigger apps to start, so I'm off to play some more :D Simon > From: Simon Taylor <simontaylor1@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 2006/04/05 Wed AM 07:30:55 GMT > To: <openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [openbeos] Re: Haiku in vmware > > I get the same message with philipp schmid's 16981 on real hardware (bug 391 > is supposedly fixed, so I wanted to test out my SB Live).
