 "If you need those features, customize the variable
 @code{haiku-use-system-tooltips} to the nil value, and Emacs will use
 its own implementation of tooltips."

(And which advanced display features are those?  Perhaps they are
important enough to have this variable be nil by default?

This should be @xref and without the parens.  Also, make sure you
leave 2 spaces between sentences.

Since you already explained what this does and mentioned the variable
name, this @table seems redundant.  Just move the @vindex entry to the
above text.

"ftcr" or "ftfont"?  Or maybe you meant ftcrfont and ftcrhb?

@footnote generates a superscript number, so it should follow some
text, presumably the last sentence before it.  Please see how
@footnote is used elsewhere in the manual.

The lines in these NEWS entries are too long, please use the default

This would benefit from telling what configure option or run-time
command-line arguments to use to do that.

This seems to contradict what you wrote in the user manual about
tooltip options?

These braces are redundant.

Is this include still needed in sysdep.c?
