Good news, more stuff for 002:
- New Iceape template with a modified profile - Puppy links in the toolbar, some default settings, a homepage and no Modern theme (1 MB, too much)
- /usr/bin/nicoedit is now a link to /usr/bin/leafpad, for backwards-compatibility (as I did with xarchive and File-Roller)
- New udev 164, compiled from the Debian sources

Stuff already in:
- pupRadio
- The package lists downloader
- Some missing packages (3 if I remember right)

TEH Iguledereh

Seems to be a woof problem with zzz. In quirky-1.4 and Insidious with my 3G modem I have to 'modprobe option' to get the thing loaded. Luci is ok, but things are a little different there Smile

. NOTE: muggins had the same issue in quirky, see teh blog!

Also having video trouble on this old box (a radeon 9200pro card, not my main box which has nvidia) with mplayer but NOT gnome-mplayer .. yes more weirdness, been that kind of day!

Funny thing.. with luci modem is ok and sound no good, with insidious and quirky it's the other way, sound ok, 3G modem no good

Cheerio

Thanks for that link!

I am trying to switch to SFS versions as quickly as they are made available.

QUESTION: Does the Italian version of OO taste better or is the background music Sinatra? Wink

Hello everybody, I'm new from Italy.
my PC: ASUS P4 PE -X TE, P4 2,4 GHz, 512MB memory
MATROX G550 32MB monitor PHILIPS 190C
Controller scsi ADAPTEC AVA-2904

I like Dpup and I was very curious about Insidious Puppy. Unfortunately in the boot sequence I was no able to configure the screen resolution (I got only a blank screen with the message "cannot display this video mode) and unlike Dpup, does not even works the boot option command "puppy vga=795" (corresponding to the native resolution of my monitor). The VESA option is useless for me, because I don't need a emergency rescue system. My goal is a fully functional substitute of MS Windows.
I posted this as a test report (if someone is interested)
Sorry for my bad english

p.s. Hi Iguleder, I send you an email one week ago.

I guess you used fbdev and a framebuffer driver - the Matrox one. Insidious doesn't have any framebuffer modules except the generic VESA one and the KMS ones.

Have you tried any other drivers? What is your GPU (brand, model)?

And regarding the email - I received your mail some time ago (I'm pretty sure it's more thana week) but I was too busy to reply (worked and slept 24/7), I apologize for this. And I wish to thank you.

Hi Iguleder
I apologize a lot.
I did not mean to say "Hey, I sent you an email, why don't you answer me?"
I mentioned it because I thought you would recognize me. I'm very sorry, I know you are very busy.

During start up, as well as with many other distros, I'm stuck in xorg wizard panel. When I'm asked to choose the resolution and test it (in this case 1280x1024@60Hz 24bit),
Puppy probes and recognises correctly my video card (Matrox Millennium G550 dual head vga, dvi, with 32m memory)
and uses the right driver (mga) but when I test it I get only a message from the monitor "cannot display this video mode, change resolution".
Lesser resolution or vesa driver works, but being my monitor LCD, resolution other than that native produces poor quality screens. Vesa driver does not use full capability of hardware.
It was what you meant for "have you tried any other drivers"?

Thank you for your attention

Well things were going well until
I wanted a full install or frugal.

The live CD runs ok! This bit of instruction software
is missing.

So how do I get a full install?
