#7933: Haiku lags in Virtual PC 2007 --------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: HaikuReactOSTrac | Owner: stippi Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: User Interface | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All --------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by HaikuReactOSTrac): I just tried R1/aplha3, and it performed worse. the pointer was still sluggish during Install, and after rebooting, it was locked up completely. And after resetting the virtual machine, it refused to boot at all, but repeated resets made it boot again. the cursor was still laggy, and running GLTeapot still froze the cursor. VMware has a couple of free products, But registration is required to download them, and all of VMware's products are Closed source. I use Virtualbox, which is open source, and is faster than VMware and Virtual PC. Haiku runs very well in Virtualbox. I think it may be 2 things that cause Haiku to lag. 1. Virtual PC is slower than VMware and Virtualbox 2. Virtual PC's Emulated Video card (S3 Trio), may not be fully supported, which may also be why Haiku is in 15 bit color by default when run in Virtual PC. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7933#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
