Hi scijon, thanks for reporting, that is for me...
Change /usr/sbin/shutdownconfig line 123 from

Tried to compile the full udev 167 with extras from T2 with their patches.
So I try to compile acl-2.2.47 (T2-patched) with
Though attr/xattr.h IS in /usr/include. 
But then I try to compile attr-2.4.43 just the same with
Now, I'm far from expert compiler but is it me or something is missing from devx? Does Racy uses the standard T2 toolchain? _________________ Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too  |

Trying Racy on a VIA C7-M machine with the VIA VX855/VX875 chipset (OLPC XO-1.5) and a 2.6.35 (OLPC) kernel that inactivates the synaptic driver. The result is that Racy boots to desktop but keyboard and mouse are dead (internal or external). X is working fine and the machine is not frozen. Looking at logs I can see in dmesg
and in Xorg.log
However the same exact messages are showing also with the same kernel and the same machine in puppies that work fine on this laptop. Namely, puppy-5xx, Slacko, dpup etc. There Xorg.log has (from puppy-5xx)
So I guess the question is, is xserver/synaptics configured/compiled in some specific way distinct from the other woof-based puppies? It's a petty because Racy looks faster than the other puppies at least on the OLPC XO-1 (that works OK with the exception of power management dues to the missing extras in udev-see above post) For the record the xorg.cong is attached.

... and since I'm at it, though rather a woof issue. in all puppies "modbrobe --ignore-install/remove" is an "unrecognized command" even when the "FULL" version is used. Is this intentional? _________________ Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too |

I know a little bit of the ^FULL^ modprobe source code : 1.: there are some -options missing in the options macro , at least for modprobe -V 3.6 and 3.11 . [edit] ERRATA: after testing I got a similar message
bash: modbrobe: Kommando nicht gefunden. bash: modprobe : Command not found Then I looked inside the modprobe source , and I found the macros : { "ignore-install", 0, NULL, 'i' }, { "ignore-remove", 0, NULL, 'i' }, Then I tried
a second time and then it worked : lsmod | grep aes aes_i586 7098 0 aes_generic 26376 1 aes_i586 So point 2 is partly wrong despite the '-i' option : 2.: [strike-through]there are no '--ignore-install|--ignore-remove' macros defined as options , but [/strike-through] they both are defined as '-i' ; passing the binary internal 'mit_ignore_commands' flag to the appropriate internal functions . [/edit] 3.: as far as I know , Puppy uses the modprobe ^-FULL^ commands by default . The first Racy still seems to use the /sbin/modprobe instead of /sbin/modprobe-BUSYBOX-NOT-USED , but for tinyRacy I can not check this from 431 , because the dotSFS are made with features , only a kernel 2.6.38+ seems to be able to access because of the new XZ/LZMA compression . |

You are right. "modprobe --ignore-install" does not work but "modprobe -i" does. Thanks _________________ Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too |

Got the 'disappearing CD icon' problem - right click overlaps underlying 'delete'. Problem discussed somewhere but don't remember solution. Suggested moving the position of the underlying pop-up? |

Dependent on your screen resolution , the 'delete' option appears directly under the mouse or not . If you have a mouse , that tends to send dobble-click impulses thought you felt you clicked the drive icon only once , it sends the second signal to the pop-up menu and activates the menu-point under the mouse . I would suggest an older or newer mouse , replace the batteries , clean or dirty the internal contacts of the mouse . |

Nothing wrong with this (HP-badged Logitech) mouse! There's no contact bounce due to the opto-couplers. There's some wrong setting in the coding because all other Puppies, new & old, used on new & old machines do not exhibit this feature. There was some discussion, but I forget the outcome - if there was one. Perhaps BK was testing it on a flaky serial mouse just before he wrapped up his development cycle?! In short, it's unique. |

Running Live media system. Selecting FULLSCREEN yields the following. On boot, system did not properly discover video and produced a blank screen. I Ctrl-Alt-Bjso and xorgwizard for VESA to get to desktop. I opened a folder of video files and system does not drive the actual video in Full screen even though the application has expanded to fullscreen. Not sure if this is the video player or the video sybsystem.
Hope this helps

From my little knowledge of MPlayer, the option "xv" enables full screen while the default produces the full screen effect that you said. However, "xv" requires Xorg and will not work in Xvesa. Since my install can only use Xvesa, that left me no hope for "xv". That was in MPlayer. I installed vlc and qt4 and got video full screen working. ADDITIONAL: Racy can't use the old OpenOffice sfs4 that Barry uploaded with Puppy 4.31. It is working in other sfs4 puppies, so there must be a problem somewhere. _________________ Puppy user since Oct 2004. Want FreeOffice? Get the sfs (English only). |

@raffy. Thanks for your help. You are right about the video driver. I had to revert to VESA when the system started desktop with black screen. But, I just xorgwizard'ed Noveau and now the player's video is as expected. Thanks again. I saw the OOo problem as well. But, it may be due to some missing libs. I sent a PM to Barry on potential missing libs requesting consideration. But, RACY is fast, very fast! Here's my current video report

This is probably not a problem which will concern many people but Racy has broken Mailwasher for Linux for me. It no longer saves the registration code on reboot and reverts to unregistered/trial mode. Apart from this it works as expected. I wonder if this is a kernel issue or issue with updated libraries? _________________ Classic Opera 12.16 browser SFS package for Precise, Slacko, Racy, Wary, Lucid, Quirky, etc available here  |

Hello ; I delved deeper into the xwin code , and maybe the described loop by me and 01micko could have been left with code like this :
Not sure about the right grep syntax for 'Fatal server error' at the moment , though . [edit] For the Puppy-43 xorg-server 1-3-0 it looks like that :
There is another syntax for the second line with something like "Failed to map the device" ; but to check this I have to boot another kernel with maybe different drivers loaded . I have a vendor: NVIDIA Corporation product: NV18 Board Chip Rev A2 card and "Xorg (1-3-0,1-7-X,1-11-X)" and the "Xchips" and "Xvesa" (1-3-0) do run it , but not "Xnvidia" and almost all other kdrives [ with or without the appropriate vendorFramebuffer.ko 's inserted ] . Funny , choosing 'chips' as Xorg driver , did start 'X' with max resolution (1600x1200) as the ^Lupu Xorg boot directly to desktop^ did - with the whole device section missing in xorg.conf . Racy Xorg or xorgwizard gives me 1024x768 in PUPMODE=5 . That's it for now . [/edit] ________________________________________ Another [ unproblematic ] occurrence is , that if echo $LANG de_DE@euro is given , dc returns numbers like 123,456 comma instead of a dot for floats ! There are quite some scripts , that use "cut -f X -d '.'" to format the output of the 'dc' command to be useable for the 'expr' command ; example from /tmp/xerrs.log : expr: non-numeric argument /usr/sbin/background_reshape: line 56: [: -ge: unary operator expected could need a LANG=C to prevent this . "grep 'dc ' /usr/sbin/* | grep 'cut'" in /usr/*/*[/*] and /etc/*/* did not throw much and the scripts that show additionally have already LANG=C set . So background_reshape may be [ one of ] the last leftovers , that did not get updated for that until now . Anyway , reading grep LANG=C /usr/sbin/re* /usr/sbin/remasterpup2:LANG=C #faster, plus Xdialog happier. may be the solution for the Xdialog warnings described in one of my former posts :
