I will give that a try. Thanks for your help

I think the Sigmatel AC97 Audio drivers are needed for my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop

Well, I've found a new bug with the trash panel applet. After installing patch-004, while you can add the plugin to the panel, and it does function correctly, upon rebooting (with savefile), it does not reappear. It isn't in the panel after reboot.

So until we get that sorted out, you may want to avoid using this particular panel plugin unless you want to have to add it after every reboot.

Please review the first post on this thread as it has been heavily edited to include some pertinent information, from bug fixes and wallpaper, to plans Geoffrey and I are discussing for the future.

OK so mostly nature stuff.

Only wallpaper I ever made is the one I made this morning. It's a flying saucer wallpaper, because my head is usually in outer space somewhere Razz

I can stick a Carolina logo on it and post it, if you'd like.

Go for it, starhawk. It's like dating a woman...all we can say is "no". And who knows, we may get out-voted by the users...we're new, we're brash, and we're open to pretty much anything, so long as it moves puppy forward, and not towards the past.

Here you go Very Happy

1600x1200 *.jpg. All I did from the original is add the 'lina logo at 128x128px size.

It's supposed to be all black&white, BTW -- a nod to the early (and campy) sci-fi films of the '60s, '50s, and earlier.

Thanks elroy, Geoffrey & pemasu,

Your work on firmware did the trick. Frisbee now works fine. My specs here:

One thing, Unless I did something wrong, some of your patches were not pets by tar.gz. Confusing to noobs, and me. But I discovered that right-clicking brought down a menu with a convert to pet option. Nice touch.

Saluki pets confirmed to work: xvidcap, galculator.
Other pets: wine-1.4.1, Nightingale
Maybe: Saluki-gtk-youtube-viewer -- it works, but required perl which over-wrote lots of stuff. Not sure of the effect. Did not try to download vids.

Ok. Different computer. In fact my brother brought me six laptops to put Carolina on. Wink

Downloaded Carolina iso.
Downloaded patch 4. Installed as per elroy's directions.

No go for Frisbee; nor for any of the other network interfaces for that matter.
Manually Downloaded drivers. Still no go.

b43
and
ipw2100

I would have downloaded ipw2200 also but it wasn't there.

Any ideas?

Pete.

Edit: I just tried carolina-firmware-fix-0.0.1-pemasu.pet and was able to
get a network wizard connection. However, Frisbee was a no go.
