please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (zipped).
OpenGL seems to works, just not the PIXELFORMAT stuff.
Wine's opengl implementation uses some Nvidia specific code, and sometimes fails with other cards.

Btw. there is quake 3 for Puppy:

There also is

But I cannot find the corresponding forummessage.

I attached Xorg.0.log. I forgot to say I've a tnt2 riva vanta 32Mb video card.
I hope to I will play 3d games, because I'm used to be a windows user and I have lot of cool windows games.
Thanks for links I'm checking out.

Dear technosaurus,

Your version of 1.1.14 works fine under Puppy 3.01, too. Many thanks for the compilation and the inclusion of features such as Jack and openGL. Interestingly, I had previously installed 1.1.15 from the Suse 10.3 distribution and it worked fine except that winhlp32 did not work (old-style help). I don't know whether this is a regression problem relating to v. 1.1.15 or a problem with the Suse compile. In any case, your 1.1.14 does not have this problem, so I replaced Suse 1.1.15 with your version. Good work.

With kind regards,
vovchik

You need driver 71.86.06 from:

As you use the retro kernel, this pet might work:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22272
It also might not work, as that kernel was recompiled in Puppy 4 retro.

So you might try Puppy 4.12 with the standard kernel, then you can use the pet from here:

I already have installed the Nvidia driver NVIDIA-71.86.06-k2.6.25.16. It doesn't work for me.
To try with standard kernel I've to reinstall puppy and configure it from zero again discouraging. I'll try when I'll have to format and reinstall again the system.
thanks anyway

Very impressive packaging of opera - only ~6MB including flash plugin in a single runnable exe
http://www.kejut.com/operaportable

The download is not working for me. I don't remember how to copy and paste the error messages to show you. They say something about the file being corrupted or not expanded and told me to go into .packages and do some sort of thing to fix it. when I tried to extract the tar.gz, I get an error message about some "needed program not found." I don't understand, I have not had this problem with trying to install any .pet packages before.

When I click on the download link, I get some sort of "exceeded downloads limit" message. I really would like to get this package...where else can I download it?

Hi gymnart,

I'm very sorry but pupylinux.asia has used all the bandwidth for February.

I'll see what I can do and post here.

OK..I'm doing the wget --mirror thingy....please wait for a little bit to download this

Thanks

EDIT:..well ok..I need to run the diff and move the files because of my mistake but there you go...d/l now. We have had a problem with speeds so please bear with me.

Thank you very much!!

P.S. which package has the file, libesd.so.0? I checked the dependencies with pup's "Check Dependencies Installed" tool and that's the file that it says is needed.

Technosaurus,can you do a compile of the latest WINE 1.1.16 with JACK and OpenGL support (but without ESD,LDAP and CabExtract)?

Just for running audio apps,emulators and games.

1.1.14 and the later versions have a very annoying bug:

It occurs only if the classic windows look is enabled in winecfg (windows managed by WINE) Try to move a window when the classic look is enabled and your window will go out of control,jumping rapidly across the screen until you release the mouse button.

When I tried that .pup, the installation manager did not know how to handle it. I'm puzzled.

install first with Petget the "dotpup handler".
Then you can install PUPs by clicking on them in rox filer.

Mark

this is what you need to compile without esd & ldap (i don't think I compiled against any cabextract libraries - just added)

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... EV-7.3.pet

http://puppylinux.ca/members/T/486_pet/ ... 1-i486.pet
or new2dir make install (to make a pet package)


Puppy's xorg DEV and devx.sfs are missing the include files for GLU and Xcomposite - sorry I can't provide these at the moment. I was using the ones that were packaged in 4.0 from Barry's giant tarball on ibiblio - specifically the Mesa and Xcomposite packages....I don't have my puppy laptop with me right now - away on training & the wife needed it for her med school stuff - when I get back I will upload an addon pet/sfs that will allow you to compile (or maybe I should instead get Xcomposite and GLU etc.. into appropriate DEV.pet at the ibiblio repo)

in the mean time here is an alternate gpl pdf plugin for firefox for windows

Technosuarus,

I use wine 1.1.14 and like it very well.
But an e-mail client Pegasus mail, has some problems which have some solutions in 1.1.16.

Do you plan to bring out a 1.1.16.sfs?

When I see your advice on compiling, it's just Chinese for me.

Thanks for advising.

nope ... downloaded 1.1.17 just now - hopefully no regressions

I will compile with support for all packages in 1.1.14 since I have discovered that all of these "dependencies" are soft and wine will normally run without them

Awesome!

Looking forward to the 1.1.17 .PET release with JACK and OpenGL support.

When you say download the 1.1.17, do you mean the source to be compiled afterwards?

I have compiled 1.1.17 and have uploaded it to http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/ ... now pw protected by "puppy", "linux"

I tried something different this time with the sfs and put opera portable in place of iexplore... in other words /root/.wine/c_drive/Program Files/Internet Explore/iexplore.exe is actually opera-portable-personal-en-9.63.exe renamed to iexplore.exe (p.s. it also contains flash already) ... 23 MB
http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/apps_s ... 86_412.sfs

The full wine 1.1.17 sfs with dependencies (except xorg) and DEV files but without opera is also available and 20 mb

Both sfs files will be available here --> http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/

Wine Lite is 13 MB
http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/486_pe ... 7-i486.pet

Wine full is 14 MB (only needed if you plan to compile a wine exe)
http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/486_pe ... 7-i486.pet

I used the same dependencies to compile against as before and have tested against the exes that I have with no regressions (I don't use a printer or scanner so those remain untested)
