I've had a few PCs do this, so I went back to Puppy 4.00, which didn't have the problem. The detection script in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit has changed, and doesn't appear to work in all cases. Try editing that file, and removing the keyboard detection lines, then inserting BEFORE the mouse detection, the...

I have a few PCs for which PS/2 is not properly detected in PUP421 or 431. I get the message 'Puppy thinks you have a PS/2 mouse', but can't confirm with keyboard (or mouse). The mouse & keyboard detection part of PUP400's rc.sysinit works fine when pasted into later PUPs. Question is: these wer...

There is a .pet for eeepc called xbacklight (somewhere in these forums). Not sure if this will work for your machine.

Well said, timremy!
To Barry and Warren (in particular, but others too) this moderately techo person says a big THANKYOU.
Folks, let's be supportive - ask questions if you need, tell us all about your successes, but let's not bite the hands that feed us.

Sorry to be late - watching Geelong win again. pup430-small 2.6.30.5 eeepc901 (atom 1.6): changed mode from performance to normal; temp 51C using 01micko method; fan matching cpu mode automatically sounds good. also changed fan to manual - speed 123 then 167 then 123 - could hear speed changes, but ...

oops - latency issues!

The pet at the site below fixes a lot of firefox 3 crashes. http://www.4shared.com/file/96370942/9c629d7d/gtk-core-update.html FF3 printing can be a problem - use dejavu sans (or sans-serif) as the default font, and make a file gtkrc in folders /etc/gtk-2.0 and /usr/etc/gtk-2.0 (may need to create t...

er that is *44,

Using #44, as a prefix to the dialup number disables cw for that call only, so there are several ways to do it.

You need to plug in the e220, open a terminal (ie rxvt), and input modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 . Then run connectwizard to set up, then run defaultconnect.

I think deleting the .pid file & a reboot should fix it.
Ndiswrapper is an option but somewhat complicated.

If you haven't already tried, go to Edit - Prefs - Mouse & set 'smooth scrolling' - might fix problem.

I think you need hpijs (extra hp drivers). Try installing the following - may not contain the exact driver, but may have one near enough to work. Also, try googling hpijs AND .pet for latest packages.

I use epson - they have an interest in linux drivers, and cups printer drivers for most up to the last 3 months or so are in Puppy. I suggest a printer that is about to be superseded (i.e. TX100), not the latest models.

I'm no expert, but I set mine thus:
Open a terminal; run connectwizard; select firewall & run.
This creates /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall, which can be run either from a terminal or on startup, as a (late) entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

The gtk-core-update.pet (see below) made firefox 3.0.8 standard go in pup4.10 - without it only opera 9.64 worked, & I find firefox more functional. With ff3, mplayer works well with multimedia. If the update is a problem on your low-spec machine (I use a 6 year old P4), maybe opera will be ok. ...

Tried eeebuntu 2.0 nbr - very nice; most toys work out of box.
Can use on netbooks other than eee. 855mb iso a bit big.
