It's not the speed. I can set that alright. The mouse is simply sluggish, doesn't always go where I want it to and the touchpad is very insensitive for clicks.
And it seems only to happen with 1.0.2.
I guess it is this misterious "kernel thing" that the other posts refer to.... :roll:

Use Splashy for Puppy's bootsplash.

I am wondering if there are plans to implement a bootsplash in Puppy. I am thinking of maybe using Splashy, which is kernel independent, so there are no additional patches necessary. I've been using Splashy with Ubuntu, and it's pretty cool.

I just downloaded Puppy 1.0.2 and here the sound works perfectly.
I have not seen any problems with NTFS, but my mouse seems a bit sluggish. Any idea how to fix that?

Anyway, I am voting for a 2.6.x kernel in future releases.

Wifi Wizard

Over the last few releases, the GUI configuration tools in Puppy have improved greatly. I think it would be great to also have a GUI application to configure a wifi connection. Although Puppy may automatically find and configure basic connections, it is kind of a pain to manually configure encrypted...

Sony laptop SigmaTel C-Major audio driver freezes Puppy?

After a few months of living without Puppy (it wouldn't boot on my Sony Vaio notebook), I downloaded 1.0.3 and I am really impressed. It boots perfectly and even finds my Wifi card. One thing I have problems with is the sound. I have a SigmaTel C-Major audio device (according to Windows). Apparently...
