______100423-1stLook______
Jwm looks real good (no corner artefacts with xcompmgr) - the icon-switcher downscaling may give a bit of crunkiness on some older pngs.
Heh, looks like there's profiles with pfbpanel now? (on reading xerr.log, maybe only provision for possibly) - that'll teach me to copy-overwrite a perfectly good new oem pfbpanel with the one I modded from w019 on an initial session that'll soon be commited to disc
(must have been the eyeglaze from too much fiddling with the almost 1300 lines of config in some other wm).
All gone. Used a jwm traybutton to exit to prompt and .. blackscreen, no prompt, no kybd led, nada. I recall a mssg coming up about every time an rxvt console was started
Code: Select all
bash: [: -ge: unary operator expected
..and then a prompt would come up. Maybe that has something to do with it or a bad traybutton cmd for jwm490 <TrayButton popup="Exit to Prompt" icon="prompt16.xpm">exec:wmexit</TrayButton>. Found this out in w019 after an overwrite of the 489 binary with the 490. Or that binary is
only for w020
(another blackscreen even trying ctrl+alt+bs in w019).
______100424,upgrade from w019 (so not a pure test)______
Did not try pet(s), it was enough to get vesa functional for me (and get it saved on a switch-in-disc on a reboot from w019 for upgrade - /tmp/versioncleanup dir fine). The codemssg above repeats as 1st line every time a console is opened. Not too much fiddling to get a comfy environment (nine wms work well, with some caveats for exiting jwm).
Jwm gives a blackscreen exit with anything other than a direct cmd in console or gexec ("restartwm" or "wmexit"), ctrl+alt+bs gives blackscreen (nasty surprise that, but it's so for me). Switching is 'normal' (in my case using plogout, a mod of a murgaLua applet from Macpup that I've been using) in all other wms (afterstep, blackbox, e16, fluxbox, jemimah's icewm-1.3.6, openbox, pekwm and wmx).
video test basically the same as for w019, xorg will not accept "ati" as driver in the usual mp edit (minor tweak of a few generic lines and h&v refresh) of xorg on initial boot (must be the as-given "vesa" on those driver lines)
ps - have yet to apply the edit in BarryK's initial article.. 'close' is relative to general consensus.
pps - conky fine (both w019 and w020) now, some dummy
pitched in some bad xcb* libset that earlier quirkys needed..
