For testing new xorgwizard and xorgwizard-cli, I woofed 3.8.7 kernel Upup Raring.
It has jwm-733. Also pup-volume-monitor and suitable libgio are included. I did use Ubuntu Raring Ringtail packages of today ie fresh downloads.

I think this build could be usable for testing new kernel, new xorgwizard, and newest jwm. Also release status ubuntu packages have been used.

I might still update the kernel which is now in version 3.8.10.
But....some feedback of the new xorgwizard in this build would be useful.
If you get non usable /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can exit to prompt state, type: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the launch X with: xwin ....and the automatic xorg.conf will be created, it is suitable for most situations by automatic creation. I usually dont need xorgwizard usage.

Xorgwizard-cli missed support for touchpad. Barry Kauler added support for it.
For me the synaptics and Flsynclient started to work after using this updated version.

I installed VLC-2.0.6 with ppm, at first vlc had sound but no picture
but after I ran xorgwizard and chose the intel driver it's working.
One choice that I made (forget which intel driver) worked too but not
well.
Anyways, it's working well now.

EDIT: I thought it was working okay but it's not, this is the video
info from PhatSlacko which works well on this pc:

Core 0: @1200 1: @1200 2: @1200 3: @1200 MHz

Anyhow, I'll use PhatSlacko on this one and Upup Raring on something
else.

Upup Raring 3.8.7 live pfix=ram on the trusty Athlon XP box..... quick test before installing.Display,sound and internet all working and correct on initial boot. Have the dreaded faded and missing icons but assume that nouveau.noaccel=1 will take care of it when I install.

First time I launched SeaMonkey it crashed........ launched from the terminal to see any possible error messages and now it will not crash..... naturally.I did get this little error message upon launching but SeaMonkey is working.

Install completed and tweaking stated. nouveau.noaccel=1 solved the no icon problem.

When playing with Ubuntu Raring Chromium and Puppy Package manager ie PPM, I edited /usr/local/petget/hacks-postinstall.sh to support Chromium with PPM from Ubuntu Raring repo.

I also added support for iron.deb from the SRWare Iron page:
http://www.srware.net/downloads/iron.deb

After installing the pet, you can download Chromium from Ubuntu repo with PPM and also iron.deb from srware iron download link should work.

Pemasu, Raring 3.8.7 is looking good here but I thought I'd report that
I'm still experiencing the old wireless bug. Presumably, this (kernel)
bug affects Ubuntu and other popular Linux distros, so I'm amazed that
it hasn't yet been fixed. I refer here, of course, to the power
management bug that affects some wireless hardware such as my
Linksys Wireless-G PCI adapter Model WMP54G using the RT2500
driver.
