yes, intel 815 graphics drivers. Couldn't find then anywhere. It says it doesn't hav drivers for my card, and it runs using the greyscale driver. also, tell me how to install the drivers, i am not familiar with BeOS drivers, and i couldn't find any tool for configuring devices. Also, I'll download the drivers from Linux...When i try to mount ext2 filesystems from BeOS, it gives an error...Any way i can read ext2 filesystem from BeOS?
I know only a bit about drivers in beos. At bootup the OS tries to match what driverfiles it has to what hardware it has. It looks inside of the driver for key info like chipset id's and versions. I am not sure you can take a linux driver and use it at all in beos. I think they interact a lot differently with the OS. You would need to use the Pro version of Beos or download the examples on writting drivers and if you understood most or all of that then you might have a chance to port a linux driver using the same knowledge you have in linux device drivers. Wheew. One trick beos driver writers have been doing is to go into the beos files and edit them to fool or add chipset id's. You might want to go to begroovy and ask for more help or go to bebits and see of a similar hack has been made and ask the author to help you on that driver? Might ask the open beos people for help.
