Manual frugal install to hp desktop pc.
Everything worked properly at bootup.
Sound and wired network were good.
I skipped the video wizard and rebooted loading the devx and kernel
source sfs after creating the save file.
I installed the proprietary nvidia driver in the usual way.

racy 5.2.2 sanity check |
|
racy 5.2.2 sanity check
IBM ThinkPad x30, 1.2GHz single core, 512MB ram
Note: racy 52190 all worked well except flash and auto wifi
racy 5.2.2
frugal manual install
1. start to black screen
nothing works
force shutdown
2. restart no desktop
use 'Menu' to reboot
3. restart no desktop
Lighthouse report = vesa
use 'Menu' exit to prompt
xorgwizard - probe
xwin
Lighthouse report = intel
usually vesa has been faster than intel
but this time intel is fast
4. wifi not automatically detected
connect to wifi manually ok
flash installed
test some pages with flash, ok! no delays, very smooth
no insert key problem
5. install devx_racy_5.2.2.sfs
Utility > Glade Interface Designer - 'icon' STILL missing
6. Note: Pmusic has been updated to 2.2.2 with many fixes
7. compile Vim 7.3.353
gtk2 not found, X11-Athena GUI compiled
worked in racy 52190 and 52191
tried:
--enable-gui=gtk2
--enable-gui=gtk2 --disable-gtktest
--enable-gui=gtk
all fail and compile a non-GUI version

No barks at first boot, ok after X restart after settings are made.
Minor woof bug.. the Xorg puninstallsh got carried through. ( I have previously made this mistake by leaving a puninstall.sh script in a package). Woof should have a line something like..
[ -x rootfscomplete/puninstall.sh ] && rm -f rootfscomplete/puninstall.sh
I have aarf's problem with xorg-auto on my eee-701SD, need to run xorgwizard.. but how would a noob know what to do???
EDIT: Yeah, ok.. "Usual thing is to type 'xwin'".. why?. xorg-auto just failed, xorg is not configured. Wouldn't it be better to write "type xorgwizard at the login prompt.. hit ENTER to get to the login prompt" (or better still skip the login as we can't!) .. just a read keepgoing so people can get a chance to write down "xorgwizard".. just saves a step.
EDIT2: I suppose how it is is ok, when "xwin" fails you get prompted to run "xorgwzard". Only thing then is that it should probably have another line after that saying. "Once you have completed "xorgwizard" type "xwin" to get a desktop" (or words to that effect).

Here's the Xorg.0.log from the eee, seems hsync is out of range and a suitable screen couldn't be found. I think this is a bug created by a fix for some other hardware as it used to work. Maybe in future detect a tiny screen? (I'll look at this some before Slacko-5.3.1, has the same problem in my 5.3.0.1/2 RC)

Final seems much better. Very stable, fast, no Seamonkey/Firefox problems, printing is fine. Have to probe for B43, but hey, that is a kernel issue.

/usr/sbin/wcpufreq, line 156:
Code: | cd /lib/modules/$kernelVersion/kernel/arch/*/kernel/cpu/cpufreq |
should be in 3.x kernels ( I believe):
Code: | cd /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/cpufreq |
or
Code: | cd /lib/modules/$kernelVersion/kernel/drivers/cpufreq |
I think that there is something else weird in script with 3.x kernels.
When choosing scaling governor: ondemand, powersave, performance etc...I get all the scaling drivers as choosable also. This happens with 3.1 kernel also.

racy522
acer travelmate 4670, 1.6GHz dual core, 1GB ram
startup: video ok, wifi ok, flash ok, shiny!
only one problem:
compiling Vim does not find gtk,
so compiles the X11-Athena GUI
rather than the gtk GUI.
It is ok, but not as good.
All other compiled apps ok.

It won't run on my 700M Dell because the Pent.M cpu is for
400mhz FSB and doesn't support PAE.
On a Dell D610 the Pent. M cpu is 533mhz FSB and works great.
It failed to see a driver for the internal wireless card.
Loaded the b43-pcmcia module and it worked fine.
Hard info didn't show any temperature info in sensors;
Installed "rcrsn51's" cpu-temp.pet, works good.
edit;
Full install can't see usb wireless dongle (zd 1211rw).
Live cd and frugal did.

rary flsynclient crashes to cli
rary522
acer travelmate 4670, 1.6 GHz dual core, 1GB ram
flsynclient
Selecting any 'calibrate' trackpad crashes racy to the cli.
Typing 'xwin' will restart racy.
wary flsynclient NO crash
wary522
acer travelmate 4670, 1.6 GHz dual core, 1GB ram
flsynclient
'calibrate' does NOT crash wary to the cli.
but just like racy522, two finger or side scrolling do not work.

Using Racy 5.2.2 from DVD. Everything seems OK. Very happy with how easy the set up was.
I used the package manager to download 'fullerscreen' and it is not compatible with the Seamonkey version.
Also in Seamonkey have in preferences used the mouse wheel setting as a zoom and it is not as smooth as say in Slacko (it may need ATI crystal graphics - not sure)
Ah yes - there is a data manager in Seamonkey - that looks interesting (under tools)
Hopefully will be testing on at least one 64bit laptop later, running from USB
Many thanks

I have tried Mplayer to view back files and find that it does not do display the content fullscreen, tried xvid, x264 etc - however this is not a problem with Wary 5.2.2.
