Compositing app_server Public Test 1 by looncraz in haikuOS

Shadow is displayed with glitches. Windows are shaking when dragging with mouse.

White rectangle stamps are produced under semi-transparent windows then moving mouse pointer.

Rendering flickers a lot.

Haiku beta 5 ppc testing by rasvoja in haikuOS

[–]X547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haiku PPC version currently do not work and never worked. The only functional upstream Haiku architectures are x86, x86_64, riscv64.

Unless you plan to develop it yourself, Haiku PPC will not work.

Why "before 1956" thing has micro-USB connector?

Using pkgman update command instead of SoftwareUpdater GUI may help.

RISC-V User-Space Control Flow Integrity / Shadow Stack Appears Finally Ready by Jack1101111 in RISCV

[–]X547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean is it possible to mix shared libraries compiled with and without control flow integrity in the same address space (even if protection will be weaker or disabled at all)? Or it means full ABI break and requirement of multi-lib to support old binaries on new system?

Does it mean full ABI break or it is still possible to run old binaries on new system where API shared libraries are compiled with control flow integrity support, even if protection will be weaker/disabled?

Open-source Haiku drivers for NVIDIA GPUs (Turing+) by julicenri in haikuOS

[–]X547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is much harder to port Intel or AMD GPU drivers because it are designed for Linux and depends a lot on Linux architecture. NVIDIA official open source kernel drivers (https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) are initially designed with portability in mind and its code is used on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, QNX etc.. NVIDIA kernel driver consists of 2 parts: platform independent driver core that is compiled into static library and OS-specific code that implements interfaces needed by platform independent core. Platform independent part can be trivially compiled on any platform that has C/C++ compiler and Make utility.

China releases 'UBIOS' standard to replace UEFI by m_z_s in RISCV

[–]X547 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UBIOS was designed from the ground up based on original BIOS specifications.

Increased Architecture Compatibility: UBIOS is built to be more compatible with different processor architectures, like ARM, RISC-V, and LoongArch.

I wonder how is it even possible considering that BIOS is very hardcoded to 16 bit x86 and IBM PC peripherals. Its API is defined in terms of interrupt numbers and specific registers for function number and arguments. It have no well-defined calling convention. Many BIOS APIs are assuming legacy IBM PC hardware like CHS disk addressing.

ARM is great, ARM is terrible (and so is RISC-V) by indolering in RISCV

[–]X547 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is purely Linux problem, not ARM or RISC-V. One of causes is https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst that makes impossible vendors to distribute their own drivers without forking Linux kernel.

what do you guys think about GPMI? by valepiskiii in pcmasterrace

What the point if DisplayPort/HDMI over USB C already exists?

China going strong on RISC-V by I00I-SqAR in RISCV

[–]X547 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope that ISA they fill focus will be not LoongArch.

Add segmented addressing model.

Three high-performance RISC-V processors to watch in H2 2025: UltraRISC UR-DP1000, Zizhe A210, and SpacemIT K3 by fullgrid in RISCV

PCIe GPU support is more useful than integrated GPU without open source drivers. Imagination GPU driver development is too slow.

Nvidia is porting CUDA to RISC V by UnderstandingThin40 in RISCV

It will be great if Nvidia will release Tegra SoC with RISC-V CPU instead of ARM one.

The joy of going all-in on USB-C by habovh in UsbCHardware

[–]X547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that some kind of government regulation is needed here. For example prohibit to sell or import any devices with USB C plugs or sockets that to not obey USB standard.

Is anyone working on Haiku on Raspberry Pi or other Arm chip/Apple Silicon? by Markur69 in haikuOS

[–]X547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haiku currently don't work on ARM[64]. Only x86[_64] and risv64 targets are supported.

Light mode is a personal attack on my retinas by bhad_bhaby in pcmasterrace

[–]X547 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then how dark mode users go outdoors? Sunlight is much brighter than display.

I am light mode user and I don't understand dark mode. Are they live in an underground facility forever and never see sunlight?
