Hi,
last edited: summary:
Xorgwizard behaves as if something has changed in it since Slacko4.99.4 and later, that brings xorg.conf not being configured automaticaly as earlier.

All this happens here on laptop (Medion LT9399 ... Asus made) featured with siliconmotion SM720 video set, upon live-cd bootup and xorgwizard setup:
Story
X was working OK on 312.37 (except that Xkblayout keeps fixed to 'us' whatever the Personalize settings change to 'fr azerty' or 'be-latin1') as early reported in the post here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69798&start=390&sid=7f00408d1ddf03581bddcb7d425a0cf8
That Laptop was also booting up as well with Slacko 4.99.1 and 4.99.2 but with the persisting keyboard layout problem as above.

Got a try now with Slacko B5: X or xorgwizard hangs up upon live-cd boot after manual driver type and resolution choices.

Thanks for any advice
Charlie

edited 29 sept 2011: here are further testings on that Laptop:
Since slacko 4.99.4 till 4.99.7, Xorgwizard cannot configure anymore upon live-cd boot (blackscreen after having manualy choosen the siliconmotion driver and set the display resolution even if manualy set using option 'Z'). Till B1 and B2 X does start: I meanwhile created a slackosave-B1.3fs file for further use and updating with later slacko version.

Updating Slacko from B1 or B2 slackosave file:
Slacko B5 boots up frugal on a slackosave-B1.3fs and updates it nice; but the keyboard layout problem remains: the keyboard keeps set on 'us'.

attached are some documentation files (renamed adding .gz - delete .gz to read them as text)

country keyboard setup hopefully solved: (do not know is this is enough ?) by editing xorg.conf and adding the missing Section Device
at the end:

lost the "save file" dialog in opera-next. had to restart x before i could proceed to save.

What is this?... an intelligence test to figure out when the next beta is out?...

B5 looks really nice and works fine too.
I guess next should be an RC.

As usually VM update and SlaXO update and fresh build was smooth.
The shutdown bug is gone in the SlaXO/vfat case (without BK's change of rc.shutdown) and updating to JWM 505 had no issues.

I have a strange bug though. Frisbee works fine in the XO-1.5 but not in the XO-1 I get "failed to set ssid" and indeed /usr/lical/Frisbee/iface is empty.
I guess something is tripped by the XO-1 wifi module.
Does not appear to be the presence of the msh interface because "ignoring" if or bring it down it does not change things. dhcpd also is fine with other connection tools.
wpa_cli or supplicant maybe.(?)

The problem is also present in B4.
The original jemimah's frisbee does not have this problem in XOpup. I guess I'll check it to see how it behaves in SlaXO...
..... No it does not work

Manual frugal install of slacko B5.

Pburn freezes at the end of burning an iso. CTRL ALT Backspace to close it.

I had the same problem in Beta 4.

No problem with latest JWM. F11 bug fixed.

[pemasu]

Dave S. I remember that you opened thread somewhere about F11 bug. Could you post the solution to the end of that thread.

Successfully copied DVD using Pburn in Slacko B5, first time that I've ever been able to copy a DVD without a problem.

Hi 01micko et al,

A shining example of style and clarity and more useful and, to me, more pleasing than a Picasso.

JWM users could try it in seconds.

A DGmod theme pet for other Puppies would be good if anyone has the skill and the time. [I emboldened the fonts which suits my eyes].

My regards

ADDED:

I see a DGmod pet is available in the jwm section @
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-slacko/

I have not tested if it works in Puppies other than Slacko.


FURTHER ADDED:

Is there a clever coder around at this time that could oblige us with a .pet for 'Cheese', please. Quite a nice little webcam utility that seems to detect just about everything without the grief of opening the case to find the sensor chip in the plethora of own-brand/no brand clone devices! Not sure about dependencies & co? Maybe those would make it a no-go?

Hi 01micko,

I tried in a MSI VR610X notebook a min pci express wlan card RT73 (because the orginal Atheros 242 didn't work all).

Under Lupu 5.2.8 this runs good, also WPA2. In Slacko network wizard are showing the wlan-interface but scans reaches no results. Log:

[chrismt]

Was testing Firefox 10 nightly. Doesn't load Adobe Flash. I Googled. It not its problem. It has to do with Slacko I guess.

Can anyone check it?

Thanks in advance
