Haiku Gains Support For Current Radeon HD Cards

Posted by timothy on from the old-and-new-together dept.

As reported by Phoronix, the Haiku operating system "has added (untested) support for the newest AMD Radeon graphics cards to its open-source driver for the BeOS-compatible operating system." (Specifically, that support is for the "Mullins" and "Hawaii" graphics processors.) Impressive that this project keeps the BeOS flag raised and continues to modernize; Haiku has been around since 2001 — years longer than Be, Inc. itself lasted.

    I have to give them credit. Haiku is even more irrelevant than BeOS.

    That's not easy to do.

    Open source OS nobody uses provides support for graphics acceleration hardware without any hardware graphics acceleration.
