Well the main thing is, judging by Max headroom's response is that nVidia is now supported. But it seems that the FGLRX driver for ATI cards is still dodgy. This actually the stage I got to with wNOP. So as I did with wNOP I got those that had graphic card problems to upload a wNOPdump, which is cop...

oh yeah, and the drivers need to put in /usr/ripple_drivers

Okay, so I would suggest releasing a beta, that at the very least, has the following drivers included; They must be renamed to .tar.gz ! ATI It seems that you are having success with some of the earlier ATI cards, around the radeon 9000 range, am I right? That would mean that the open source driver ...

Okay, let's get started with the nVidia and ATI drivers, they do exist for Ripple's parent version of Puppy (4.1 right?) don't they? I've not been keeping up with Puppy of late so don't know what's out there. If someone could post the links to these drivers I can tell you how to integrate them into ...

@nic2109: Thanks for the wishes Nick :) gNewSense sounds interesting, surprising that it has even less proprietary stuff than Debian! Just Debain itself seems so much more principled about this than Puppy. @Lobster: Yeah, the future's unwritten, as they say ;) I'm pretty sure Warren and Raffy have t...

Awww, you've all made me go warm and gooey :) Thanks so much for all your warm wishes, so many nice things said by so many, but special thanks must go to alienjeff, Sage, tronkel, Béèm, dinky, prit1, cthisbear, Caneri, Lobster, ttuuxxx, Pizzasgood, Eyes-Only, raffy, big_bass, maddox and droope; sorr...

Sorry I've not been in touch so much, I've been using Debian! I'm thinking of becoming less involved with Puppy :( What I'd like to offer here in this project though is the updated cfwizard script. I'll also be following the thread and give any advice where I can. Basically I well impressed with wh...

Recently I've not been keeping up with the various threads I'm involved with, there are a few reasons for this. I think mainly it is that I've been using Debian as my main system for a couple of weeks now, but also because I've got a new job which means it's harder to get sneaky peeks at the forum d...

Brian, from the CDA, did send me the preliminary unincorported rules, but as he said they're very employee focussed, as in stuff like, "you will be allowed 25 days holiday per year", blimey! Not exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of! But as Brian pointed out we basically work with th...

@tronkel: Did you see my comments to you in my previous post? You agree that it isn't as black and white as Barry completely disappearing? He will still be contributing, so in that sense he doesn't need to be replaced in the absolute sense. But do you still think that the extent of his stepping bac...

Okay, started a Project Ripple thread . Just because there's a thread doesn't mean we have to rush into it! Step by step eh. I've got a new job now, so won't be able to take sly adventures into Puppy land during the day anymore :( BTW I've just got me a new laptop, very swish it is too. Got CF going...

I'm not as partial to screenlets Tom, the project seems much less supported and last look it was a bugger to install things... gdesklets is so much easier. I know what you mean there, but you thing I remembered is that we're going to need to provide the XDG menu system somehow, you know, like a sta...

Usually Compiz-Fusion will run on top of an existing window manager such as XFCE, GNOME or KDE. So what Ripple will hope to achieve is a desktop environment where Compiz-Fusion itself is the sole window manager. Therefore, in order to replace functionality usually provided by panels/taskbars/desktop...

@dinky: Oh I'm genuinely giddy with excitement about this! It's been a dream of mine for so long, but I just haven't had the time to do any serious work on it. So I'm all behind you trying this out. Yeah, wow is right about making a script that's definitely the way forward. Although I'm not so sure ...

@Aitch: trying to find out if we are 'all present, at the same time, focussed on the same thing, and making progress, ultimately to an 'understanding' or as I prefer an overstanding, when you tower over 'the problem', realizing that it wasn't that big of a deal..... Yeah it's hard isn't! trying to ...

@37fleetwood: So gulk's advice worked :) I did post the solution to the CCSM problem -- therefore use wow's CF package instead (just install it over the old one), the link is in the how to as well. @gulk: Thanks for the compliments, glad your enjoying the delights of Puppy and CF -- a great combinat...

@pigshed: Not that I want to discourage your comments (which are clearly thoughtful and so very welcome), but I'd like to try and keep this thread as separate as possible from other threads. I would like this thread to be solely for the discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of formally working t...
