Here is one I created for GIMP...

... I picked up the "fine art" idea elsewhere, but this creation is all mine specifically for Puppy. Woof!

Edit: Some versions of Gimp have it at /usr/share/gimp/2.0/images.

Patch for xorg.conf

#32 Post by ecomoney »

Hi, when I use 2.15ce, and run the xorgwizard, I cannot manually edit the etc/x11/xorg.conf file using the setup boxes. I select edit and it goes straight to the next screen. It turns out there is a missing program "mp", which is a text editor present on most puppies but not on 2.15ce which the xorgwizard uses for editing the file.

I put a post on explaining this problem which bruce b has kindly supplied a solution for. Currently editing the xorg.conf file is the only way of making a computer with two graphics cards (say an underrated onboard one with an extra more powerful pci one) work. Xorgwizard creates entries for both parts , one of which must be removed. Ive documented this fault here some time ago, anyone know if its been fixed yet?

Just to let people know!

mouse pointer

mouse pointer disappears - I have the same problem - had it with 2.17 and have it now with 3.1. Seems I started having the prob since getting a new MB with a dual core AMD cpu. What cpu's do you people have? Coudl that be the problem?

I added that line and have not had the problem since
