very nice thanks. how long has it been there?

hey i smashed my computer and just got a new one. i think octave-forge will need to be installed as well if you're installing from source. i'll add these packages and see what happens.

LMMS
Hydrogen
ZynAddSubFX

no i've tried reading the docs on how to install things on puppy but i was totaly lost, sorry. if you figure out how to install stuff that arent already .pups i'd apreciate it if you would let me know!!

when i write the line: i get the error: but the hard drive still runs for a while, like the operation isn't over. should i worry about this?

that did it. thanks a lot!

yeah she's got the itus!!

tried everything but xwin icewm. thanks i'll give that a try.

re ran the xorg wizard and this is the new xorg.conf file with no vesa... #Special base config file used in Puppy Linux. # ********************************************************************** # Module section -- this section is used to specify # which dynamically loadable modules to load. # ******...

Yeah!! i just noticed that!!!
i wonder why it would do that. it probably explains my issues with my Desktop manager

Do it!!
Do it!!
Do it!!
Do it!!
Do it!!

Taken from the Savage video driver man page

Option "UseBIOS" "boolean"
Enable or disable use of the video BIOS to change modes....

Note: Use of the BIOS is required for dualhead operation. Default: on (use the BIOS).

interesting

I just tried this but it didnt seem to work. i also tried this version with two different copies of the device section and named the devices card0 and card1 but no luck. maybe it would help if lspci in linux was a bit more specific? #Special base config file used in Puppy Linux. # ******************...

yeah ever since i messed with xorg, my window manager has been different and not as cool. BUT KEEP PLAYING!!!!

I really do wish someone could come up with a simpler solution to video for the linux platform. but i know that might not be very simple.

When i started i had this madd cool looking window manager that looked like KDE on steroids. i tried to tweak xorg.conf a bit and failed, and now my window manager looks like win98

hi i'm trying to install Octave from http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html

i've gotten the file but i don't know how to install it. i'm sure it's gonna have a few dependancies.

sorry i didn't mention that i'm using 2.15. i figured that all of the info you would need would be in the thread that i had mentioned here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=18073 i've been taking notice of xinerama as i've been butchering my x configuration but i dont know how to use ...

i found this but it only tells me that i have dual monitor support. not how to use it.

Hi i'm trying to set up dual monitors but i think i used the wrong
forum. i posted it here

this is from my xorg.conf:

Identifier "Card0"
Driver "savage" #card0driver
VendorName "S3 Inc."
BoardName "86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

that's for s-video. and i dont have ati or nvidia.. this is from my xorg.conf: Identifier "Card0" Driver "savage" #card0driver VendorName "S3 Inc." BoardName "86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" -edit- lspci seems to output something im not us...

i just made a normal linux hard drive install so i don't have to worry about it. thanks for the help though

cool just did a resize, ran grub then rebooted into the new partition ext3.

it works great! thanks
