Used the other WAG-gui to setup network after I moved to a larger usb flashdrive, much easier however it found my neighbors AP first so I was a fool pressing my AP button while trying to connect.

Like the script to resized and use the remaining usb flashdrive space, very simple now to try save session.

Noticed again a glitch in the redraw while typing last line. It garbled and most text disappeared until I scrolled. Also when playing a hd video with VLC (nice playback using generic nv driver only 23% CPU) the use of jwm menu popup affected the block of playback shifting it over some.

I tried to hit PrtSc to capture both display shreading events but it did not work

Savefile session saved but not used on next couple of boots, used the ext3 option but it forced it to ext4. savefile is the last partion on the USB drive used to boot

I've rebuilt and re-uploaded the Nvidia pets.

waitdev did the trick, is grub config editable at append that so I will not have to type it in each time?

[Ted Dog]

cut/paste two mouse button press does not work and can't find the setting for the mouse wizard to set it up also the clipboard shortcut ctrlaltc doesnot function. like to cut paste on terminals really need to set something up

[Ted Dog]

new nvidia pet works for me, found the help files for cut/paste keys (no insert key on my minikeyboard) but I think I can configure sven multimedia keyboard to create one.
Nice to see this server computer really run well, HD video playback is flawless now, sound works great, saw this has video capture support, will test my USB tuner now.
Thanks, haven't been this wowed by a linux release since I found puppy mltisession, before that first try using Knoppix livecd. This level of completeness and success is a rarity.

Hello kirk & jamesbond

Oops! I said that on b3 panning was working, but I was wrong. Apologies!

I have margins set, so it does pan, but the mouse cursor won't go into the right margin. I use it to centre 1920x1080 video on my 1600x1200 monitor. That worked when I tested it and I didn't notice the cursor.

There's no need to fix it for me, I'm quite happy with fd611

Thanks.

EDIT: I rechecked beta 1 and panning works correctly on that.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into
solving the UEFI install thing.

So does this mean I can buy a Packard Bell or Toshiba
or HP Compaq Laptop Win 8 computer with UEFI and
then follow the instructions and that will dual boot with Win8 ?

That would be much appreciated if you can confirm
that it really work.

Oops hope somebody put the iso on a mirror because
that one is a very slow it takes 55 minutes now to dl

I did an update install on the UEFI machine. It went very smoothly. I only had to copy the new initrd and vmlinuz over the beta3 version. No changes were required to refind.conf. It boot correctly.

I removed the loadmodule=radeon boot parameter and the radeon detection code worked. No problems with the X server start up.

I did the same for the USB flash drive install without any problems. I think I can retire my six year machine and start using this one for day to day use. Yes, I am using fatdog64 and FireFox to post this. Thank you, Kirk and Jamesbond
