Quirky Pyro64 version 0.6 (alpha) -- and Pyro32 0.5
mp in repository
I can only use mp editor in nox
version 3.2.13 is old so it supports only ascii characters.

My intel experience
My Pyro64 is on 8G USB stick
I have put it into my other box Acer Aspire R3-131T
Booted to command line
launched xorgwizard
chose intel ...
..and got a graphical desktop (1366x768) on that computer
drm_kms_helper did not hurt
unchanged 20-gpudriver.conf did not hurt
I like Quirky Pyro64
If anybody needs some screen drivers for further testing of 'pyro64-0.2' you'll find them at: 'Slacko64-6.3.2'

Re: Ye olde Minimum Profit
The reason that I did not use that version, is could not figure out how to fix the <home> and <end> keys. They did not move the cursor to beginning and end of a line.L18L wrote:mp-5.2.10 ' s TODO contains:Code: Select all

The 5.x series does not use /etc/mprc or ~/.mprc, has some other way of configuring.
L18L, if you can solve that one, I will definitely consider moving to 5.2.10!

It's easy to check if a text editor supports unicode.Version 3.3.18b was the last in the 3.x series. I wonder if that improved unicode support?
Just create a UTF-8 text file with strange foreign characters inside.
Then open the file with your text editor and
see if the foreign characters (such as öäüßÄÖÜ°) show in the window.
Compile with source...

Hello all.
Perhaps try Joe's Own Editor instead?
I've been using it for a few years on various Puppies and I never had a
UTF-8 problem with it, in or out of Xorg.
It's been around since 1988, development is still active, and it's almost
as powerful as geany.
Best regards.

Then compiled 3.3.17 because you named it in your blog.
Then compiled 5.2.10
No problem here:The reason that I did not use that version, is could not figure out how to fix the <home> and <end> keys. They did not move the cursor to beginning and end of a line.
Key labelled "Ende" moves cursor to end of line
Key labelled "Pos1" moves cursor to beginning of line
without any configuration, OOTB.

LibreOffice V. 5.0.6.3
As soon as you try to save a text file in LibreOffice it will pop up a warning message. Ref: LibreOffice V 5.0.6.3
LibreOffice V 5.1.2.2. works fine in Quirky Xerus 8.1.6 for x86_64.
I think this problem is related to my 'full installation to a partition'! I'll have to do more testing on this issue.
Did some more testing. It's not the file system.

Re: dri for intel i915 and gma500
Yes, interesting thing about that 20-gpudriver.conf. On my "new" middy-tower PC, which has Intel graphics but not poulsbro, that 20-gpudriver.conf caused xorg to choose the 'modesetting' driver.L18L wrote:I did not use that script.don570 wrote:I did a full install of pyro to a partition using Barry's script,

I renamed it to 20-gpudriver.confHIDE, restarted X and got the intel driver.
So, next release will have it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.confHIDE, someone with poulsbro video can change the name.

mp-5 is really nice under X.
But without X, Ctrl Alt F2, (we do need it in console mode for configuring X) I get:
