Slackpup 0.4 beta Subject description: Beta of Puppy built from Slackware 13.1 packages |
|
The announcement for 0.3 on my blog:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01695
The forum discussion on Spup 0.2:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57110
A major feature of this pup is that Kenel Mode Setting is turned on for Intel 'i915', Nvidia 'nouvea' and ATI 'radeon' kernel modules -- see /etc/modprobe.d
-- if any other hardware needs to have KMS turned on, you can experiment with an appropriate config file in this directory.
Note, the kernel video drivers are at /lib/modules/2.6.34/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/
Find the bugs!
EDIT:
Spup 0.4 has arrived:

Slackpup 0.3 beta is working well. kudos
Only problem so far is the new nouvea driver. It is found using probe to setup the driver. The display had problems though, small dashes of different colors were scattered over the screen and kept moving around. When exiting to prompt the screen resolution was changed so it was very difficult to see the print. Also, upon shutdown, it went to a black screen. This driver is useless for my hardware.
Choosing nv on reboot worked fine and hopefully a pet will be made of the nvidia 256.36 driver for this distribution.
Thanks,
Jim

Yeah, I'm new to using 'fbcon' kernel module, the frame-buffer console driver, and I don't know how to specify the resolution.
Note, the intel kernel driver doesn't seem to need 'fbcon', seems to have its own console driver. That also has the problem of displaying in a very high resolution, or rather, very small text.

Attached is the Slackware 13.1 ntfsprogs package. It supplies the missing libntfs* shared library.
The ntfsprogs package template in Woof had screened out the shared library, now fixed.
I had to gzip it, as this forum will not accept an .txz file as attachment.
So, download it, then run 'gunzip', then click on this package, then choose Yes button to install...

I installed a pet of wine 14.2rc5 that I made in quirky the other day and it worked well.
I installed safari 5.0 + install_flash_player.exe in wine and safari played flash videos at cnn and youtube perfectly.
Safari ran fast too.
I downloaded firefox from the slackware repo in puppy package manager and it worked perfectly,also downloaded amarok 2.30
from slackware repositories and it has a lot of dependencies.Amarok would come up when I clicked on the menu entry but it showed
a lot of error messages and wouldn't work.
EDIT:
I installed the devx and ran amarok again, only a couple of errors this time and I could load a file.Mp3's won't play but ogg files play fine.

I spent the morning adding applications to spup 030, all pets and others that I compiled in spup 030.Then I did a remaster and burned a new cd, the custom spup iso is 293mb
I did a full install on this laptop and so far it is working great, I think it will remain here for quite a while.I am using wine-1.2-rc6 and it is working well on this laptop.
This is good, thanks

Attempting to run Xorg worked but Seamonkey just generated large black areas at the animated Google page. Vesa goes to black at the console mode causing me to do a blind reboot. Audio seems to work as expected.
