(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Jemima, question please: you mentioned editing the Xorg wizard script earlier in this post. Where will I find that script please?

The xorgwizard is in /usr/sbin/xorgwizard.

Thanks jemimah.

Tried this with Lucid 500. Had to run xorgwizard to create an xorg.conf file and then it worked fine.

Jemimah,
There are a couple minor changes in flsynclient 0.7: If you could post the source for your patched version or the patches , I'll give a try at updating it to 0.7. (If I build, though, it will be on Lucid Lynx; compatible with Lucid Puppy 5.00.)

Other than that, I'm happy to be able to fix the Synaptics settings.

You can get the source here: http://puppeee.com/files/sources/flSync ... hes.tar.gz

You may already know this - Fltk comes with a graphical tool called Fluid you can use to edit the GUI.

If you link fltk statically (which is usually the default for fltk) the binary should work pretty much everywhere.

It'd be nice if the GUI fits on 7inch netbooks so it shouldn't be taller than about 460 pixels.

Thank you.
Right now I've merged the changes (over 50 differences, of which about 10 applied smoothly or matched the upstream changes), gotten it working in Fluid (I accidentally inserted a } right in the middle of UImain.fl at first; that caused no end of trouble), and made it compile.
Of course, compile isn't the only thing--right now it segfaults if I attempt to start it. I guess I jumped in over my head, as I've only played around with Turbo C previously .
If anyone dares touch my mess, I'll attach it.

I built .7 on Puppeee but I don't see any major functional improvements, just an additional tab in the GUI. I still don't see any compelling reason to try to merge.

I've attached the .7 source with my fixed makefile so it should build and run. It might be easier to add in the other widgets by hand than to try it will diff. Adding the new code wasn't especially complex.

FIXED. I downloaded the two pets from the first page, 4.3.1 frugal, but cant find a menu entry for it. How do I run it please? Faulty install, now corrected

On the Lupu-5.1x, the Synaptics touchpad works from the first desktop, but the flsynclient fails.
I made a wrapper script which can be a solution.

jemimah,
I found the xorgwizard does not set the SHMConfig on for the Alps touchpads.
See my post:

Thanks. I'll fix it for Fluppy.

jemimah,

Many thanks for this !

Just installed on my new 5.2.5 hd install - files from the first post - and it works a treat ! PC is an Acer Aspire One ZG5 with an 8GB SSD.

Now see if you could get the webcam working with Skype then I would be seriously impressed

Flsynclient works in Lucid Puppy (5.2.5, 5.2.8.7) but turning the touchpad on or off requires a mouse.
So if I turn it off, I can't turn it on again by tabbing to the ON/OFF switch.

When I am forced to use a graphical browser (for some forums, and starting in July to use fastmail) the touchpad
senses my thumbs an inch or so away and interprets this so as to move the cursor some place unexpected and to
suddenly insert or delete large blocks of text. I have wasted lots of time repairing and retyping.

Forced with the need to make fastmail usable (since my two BSD shell accounts are currently on the Barracuda
and/or Yahoo blacklists - the latter including SBC, ebay, frontier.com and rocketmail) I researched and found
that synclient can be used (in X) from a urxvt.

I made scripts

off

synclient TouchpadOff=1

on

synclient TouchpadOff=0

I added urxvt to the top of the jwm menu.
I may also add 'off' and 'on' to the menu.

Fastmail works with Opera 12.16 despite their requiring 12.17. Also with recent Seamonkey, Midori and probably Pale Moon
(which won't work on my Pentium III yet). They are the only mail provider I could find that works (but soon will not) with
lynx, links, elinks, w3m. SSL required. r to reply. Ctrl-S to send.
