It caught me again!
When using the new *excellent (and working for me) xorg chooser, I moved to the required res and pressed enter (forgot space)
Either - as you move the "x" selection should be auto selected (ideal) or the space pressing requirement should be emphasised
In the initial bootup ) yes I prefer the pic but this is MUCH clearer
ACPI should be explained (coz it just means press this [geek speak] option)

Re: Puppy Tardis Beta suggestions
I don't think the "dialog" program (which is what is used to create those text-mode doalog boxes) can work in the way you suggest.Lobster wrote:It caught me again!

"press SPACEBAR" is in capitals already.
I could make 1024x768 preselected, so people would see the "X" against it, and get the idea.

Sorry Barry - however clear things are some idiot gets it wrong. I am that idiot
I also tried changing my mouse for a serial device in case my wacom board can be classed as a mouse. No.
I am wondering if Xorg should be the default on loadup? Will it work for our Xvesa friends? Another great feature in Puppy Tardis is OpenGL - be interesting to find new apps that support this. I think this is another standard component to add to our impressive list.
You get loads more selections (and on my system I have to put in a code 0x011A for xvesa which is a little geeky). Using Xorg (once working) I found it stable and one of the refresh rates is 79mz - my monitor only goes up to 75mz - seems OK . . .)
I gave some of my anti-linux family a copy of Sizzler and the message from one (he is getting a Mac soon) I gave him Grafpup, was sceptical . . . As the Xorg say "Resistence is futile" but some people think it reasonable to pay unto eternity for software. Get it in hardware I say.

[ahem . . .] rant is now over, normal service is resumed . . .Does the motherboard come with an OS?
Yep it's a Puppy!
OpenGL works.
You need a X.org -Driver that supports it.
I installed Puppy 107alpha on a machine with an old ATI radeon 7000.
The correct driver was autodetected.
it enables opengl, but without hardware-accelleration.
I can run the /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears -demoprogram from Mandrake.
I also tried to install the hardware-accellerated closedsource-driver from ATI, but it does not support this old card. That one also would need a Kernelmodule for accelleration.
There is a older driver from ATI for this card, but for XFree 4.x.x only.
btw. Lobster, what for a grafic-tablet do you have?
There is a german print-article (not online), that might help to set it up.
I might look, if it talks about your model.

Thanks for the OpenGL info - I am quite excited by what you say and did not realise all the implications and possibilities. I have to use intuition where others use intelligence and knowledge.MU wrote: btw. Lobster, what for a grafic-tablet do you have?

It is a wacom artpad KT-0405-R
Basically the cheapest, most used artpad - Mark Tyler who does Mtpaint has one. He had it set up with Gimp in another distro but not in Puppy.
I would be very pleased if you got it going (think of it as a belated Christmas Present to Nathan for Grafpup and for me for having excellent whiskers)
I am also wondering if Xorg means we have potential joystick control?
there is a howto:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/main
This page lists the supported models:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/main
I can't see your model there
But I would try anyway.
It seems you have to download the driver, and compile it.
Then you must enable it in the kernel:
rmmod wacom
rmmod usbhid
modprobe usbhid
modprobe wacom
Then you must add an entry to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
But first try, if compilation and loading the kernel-module works without errors.
Use a new pup001 for your tests!

OK Mark - gonna try your suggestions - many thanks
Where do I get a driver for one of these though (watch the movie)?

The movie is a flash-movie, mozilla can play it.Lobster wrote:Where do I get a driver for one of these though (watch the movie)?

Can you see the flash-movies at http://rhinoweb.us ?
If yes, but not the movie on the site you mentioned, then you must install the additional xine-codecs with pupget.
If even that fails, you will need KLHs Codec-pack, which also is in Mega-Puppy.
Here is a Dotpup of all the Mega-Puppy codecs, they should include everything posted in the Forum in the past (16 MB, 39 MB extracted):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/all_codecs.pup
As this space is taken from your pup001, it would be better to use the Mega-puppy -file instead of the dotpup, where that does not happen.

eh - thanks Mark . . .
What I actually meant is where do I get a pointing device driver as in the link . . .
Only joking it is a cutting edge laser device . . .
Anyway here is a progress report on my wacom driver efforts:
* created new Tardis Beta pup001
* installed usr_devx.sfs in /mnt/home
(the Puppy "C" language compiler)
and rebooted
intend to use this info
for compiling (not really sure wha to compile)
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Compiling
* downloaded the wacom drivers
used this console command:
# more /proc/bus/usb/devices
to get this:
* used
uname -a
(this tells you which version of the Linux kenrnel you have)
We have 2.4.29
*moved the precompiled files to
/user/lib
just about to reboot
