Hello BarryK

Thanks for the answer.

I found an interesting OpenGL benchmark and compiled it for Slacko, but it does work in Precise with one added dependant lib:

libglew1.5_1.5.7.is.1.5.2 (type it in PPM search box, dont get the other version!)

Results for me are identical in Slacko and Precise on my Radeon Cedar card.

Get it from this post

I have, at last, tried precise pup on my IBM NetVista with the problematic 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device. Much to my amazement, it "just works"! Even though the i915 modeset=1 is in effect. In lucid pup, I had to have it set at 0 to get past the black screen issue. Several other puppies with various kernels seemed to have the black screen problem. But I am pleased that this long-term-support puppy is not one of them.

Now the problem appears to be with the nouveau driver and black screens.

Using Htop to observe "load averages" while watching
videos; I get about 10 times the load average reading with
Precise compared to Lucid or Wary.

There isn't any temperature differences or or other
indications of overload??

Edit:
The videos are slightly smoother and more solid on the
other Puppies.

I would certainly support inclusion of suspend/resume as part of the standard OS. yr1945 suggested acpitool-0.5.1.2 which seems to work fine as long as I directly initiate the sleep function (I made a short cut to desktop). However, it does not respond to closing the lid.

pupshutdown does not include a suspend on my machine (dell latitude D630)
but I am leaving it installed as it might be necessary for current functioning.

This is very quick, but does not retain log in information when shut down and restarted later. It does retain this information over sleep/resume.

An excellent version. Many thanks

Ran into this issue that may not have been noticed.

Here to help

I do not think it is issue per se. Pmount works just fine without mut. Barry Kauler has posted in his blog several times that ancient mut feature is not in Puppies anymore. I think this "issue" just confirms it.
