Manual frugal install of beta5++.

Under drivers in slickpet I chose the option to test the video card
and it downloaded and installed mesa.

How can I get the same level of performance in beta5++ with this
graphics card that I get in 3 headed dog?

Everything else seems to be working fine.
Thanks.

Maybe uncomment Load "dri" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it appears from your report it's not loaded

4.99.7 versus 4.9x.7 on my c:a '03-'04 desktop (specs in sig)

4.99.7 still needs the BrookDale-fix
4.9x.7 hasn't yet shown any ill-feelings as to my daring test of booting without the BrookDale-fix (ok, only been running for an hour or so with no rectangular kaleidoscopics).

4.99.7 has the smallish font/too high res. in the (real) console, as well as greek letters in place of Swedish characters åÅäÄöÖ.
4.9x.7 has the regular font-size/normal res. in the (real) console and the Swedish characters åÅäÄöÖ are displayed correctly.

Now, where lies the difference?
Is there a framebuffer-module compiled as =y in one of the kernels and as =m in the other? Or, is there, (additionally) a difference between the font-tables [n, y , m] included at compile-time?
Not really asking, just speculating, rhetorically, since I haven't checked (yet).

Anyway, 4.9[9|x].7 are running great!

I need to see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log... it will give me a clue, I have just the stock xorg.conf and dri loads anyway if present (nouveau/mesa)

easy code:
# cp -af /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~
# gzip Xorg.0.log

makes Xorg.0.log.gz in ~

(quicker than rox )

Is this of any interest to your console font issues?

Here is the latest wag-profile.sh functions library for wpa_supplicant. It is essential that these rules are correct for all wireless cards such that you can use WPA encryption.

Please report any problems. They are good for lupu, wary, racy and squeeze too. Some rules only apply to the latest kernels but I don't think it's an issue to use in older (recent) kernels, if the case isn't matched then the wildacard takes over, some cards then have the option of adding the rules (network wizard only).

Please report any problems, issues or additions if you know your card supports WPA but there isn't a rule in the library.

Many thanks to tempestuous.

EDIT: minor mistake, should not error, as I listed 'usb' twice , the case always matches the first one it finds. Re-uploaded, only was downloaded once.

Hi Mick,
Slacko B5++ on Laptop Medion LT9399 PIII 600MHz 192MBram (11 years aged)
Just got a try ... to see ...
live-cd boot: initrd.gz and vmlinuz are much slower at install than on Slacko B5;
afterwards, again as on B5, xorgwizard hangs up after manual 'siliconmotion' driver choice and screen frequencies ranges selection
(as already described on page 4 this thread).

XZ compression shuts me out of using edit.sfs to directly edit the main sfs. Dont like that..........................
