Slacko64 Puppy 6.3.0.2
Nvidia Geforce GTX 960

No help.

Boots to a desktop, but the desktop is all distorted and in general
unusable. Just a bunch of lines, partial images, and colors

I switched to the modesetting driver

Desktop OK using that driver.

1024x768 OOTB
Changing to 1920x1080 works.
Keyboard de works.

Code: Select all

# glxgears
434 frames in 5.0 seconds = 86.781 FPS

Menu>Leave>Exit to prompt
black screen,
Typing "xwin" -> back to X

At my first try I got black screen with restartX.
Thus there might be some issues.

But that is no show stopper, just work for help desk

Thank you

Yes, it boots to desktop, keyboard works, mouse works, touchpad works.

Edit: Changed theme to touchpad light and rechecked glxgears with vblank_mode=0 exported. 900 FPS, slow for this laptop. I generally see 1350 to 1400 in X-slacko for example. Don't see any errors in the drm setup though. Variability before has been def. a function of the Xorg version and the kernel version.

32-bit iso on Dell Latitude D410, booting to folder on ext2 partition with grub4dos

- "loading kernel modules" takes 65 seconds on first boot, 35 on second boot, 30 on third boot (on slacko 6.3.0 this part takes 5 seconds on first boot, 2/3 seconds after). Tried downloading iso again, same behavior (checksum equal, iso is valid)
- wireless does not show up, tried all three network options (it did in slacko 6.3.0 32-bit, as eth1 / ipw2200 driver)
- keyboard and touchpad works
- switched from "dark touch" to "dark mouse" theme because BIG "dark touch" makes some menu items unreachable here
- exited to prompt and ran xorgwizard afterwards for Lolz, didn't seem to blow anything up or make above issues disappear

edit: Running "change_kernels" from terminal and selecting the 3.14.55 files from slacko 6.3.0 and rebooting fixes both issues.

I ran the base 6.3.0-nonpae a week ago it sets up nice. I have a question and a future request.

Is 'X' still in this alpha-release, JIC? I note the iso is larger than base 6.3.0

At some time in the future, I'd like to see the 32-bit (nonpae) kernal bumped to 3.18.22 LTS or a handy 3.19.xx version.

Since my video is i915 with single-core Atom, this one should run well on an Eee-pc. I have access to the 702 model (8Gb/1Gb 7" screen), The base 6.3.0 ran on it, but slower (needs a 2Gb RAM-stick). This should run fine on it. BTW, I've been using a 7-series eee with Slacko 5.5 and 5.7 w/o problems.

I think my undetected wireless problem in 3.18.22 and 4.1.1 was passed down to 3.14.57 (this exact version). 3.14.55/20, 3.12.21, 3.10.32, 3.4.94, and 4.3.0EmSee (interestingly) works fine. I wonder which one of these contributors is the culprit:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/log/?h=linux-3.14.y
http://fossies.org/diffs/linux/3.14.56_vs_3.14.57/

Do you know which changed file holds the answer 8Geee? Until it is fixed I do not agree with your assessment.

Slacko-6.3.0.1 32bit....

Boot to desktop ok on my ASUS laptop with intel graphics

Touchpad also ok - although I was hoping that clickpads might be better supported - the right button bit of the clickpad still does not work OOTB - do I still edit xorg.conf to make it work?? N0 - I have to copy /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and edit the copy....2 lines to add:
Option "ClickPad" "true"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0"

Wifi - Frisbee detects all wifi signals as usual - SNS doesn't show any signals.
If I change theme then SNS displays signals.

Love the theme and the fact you have one calculator not 4. Makes one not want to reduce the number of apps down.

Weird behaviors noted xorgwizard in menu doesn't work when you click on it.
Had to go via logging out. Noticed some keys didn't work when typing xorgwizard when out of X. Also as mentioned Simple Network Wizard total fail.

Watching videos was impressive full screen achieved when watching youtube.

Again Dell D620. Video playback with Gnome Mplayer is working after it failed in 6.3.0. Overall an improvement with less icons on the desktop and better theming - Puppy benefiting from looking more professional in its looks.

So promising start Micko.

Little slow while loading kernel modules, but got to desktop.
Resolution correct (1400x1050).
USB Mouse, touchpad, all working.

(Wifi not working though - ipw2200. Loaded module manually, but no interface detected.)

Oh, I've just booted the new 32-bit to check on my wireless and sound.
(I'd replaced the original Broadcom little board with an Atheros, to try to make LibrePup wifi work; in this Dell E6410.)

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 5C:26:0A:3C:77:EB

You will probably have problems with the other kernels I mentioned as well.

32 bit 6.3.0.1 frugally installed to Pentium M laptop with ipw2200 wireless.

Boots to desktop ok. Touchpad, keyboard, all other input devices ok, sound ok. flsynclient works correctly on the ALPS touchpad.
The 3.14.57 kernel is quite slow to load modules on boot and would not connect to ipw2200 (no device found blacklisted wl etc... still no). change_kernel to 3.14.55 from slacko 6.3.0 and boot was noticeably faster and ipw2200 connects (Dougal perfect, SNS no, Frisbee yes but without a way to set the dropwait needed by the ipw2200).

Fresh frugal install of the 64 bit iso.
Regular keyboard and usb Logitech mouse both work.

When I go into terminal mode (command line) and enter the following:

find / -iname "*.conf" | egrep -i xorg

I get a "hard link count is wrong ..." message. Try it.

Nouveau driver support:
About Nouveau support for the Geforce GTX 960 and any other Maxwell chip Nvidia cards.

I found this:

[Nouveau] [PATCH 2/2] remove maxwell support for now
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/n ... 21597.html

This was in July 2015

This statement says it all.

There is no EXA acceleration, user better off with modesetting.

You would think this has been corrected by now, but I have not found anything saying it.
