Is this for ATI Mobility (laptop cards) or the desktop cards?
Are there any benefits except gaming performance?

I have to agree with Fiberflinger, at least to some degree. Unless you are a Linux guru, most people probably need to spend a LOT of time learning and configuring this and that just to do simple things like installing a piece of software or connecting to a wireless network. It took me about a month ...

puppyluvr: Thank you!

I installed the .pet, but I don't see any new menu or anything different (also tried rebooting), what am I doing wrong?
Puppy 411 retro, also tried it on WNOP 4.1.

What is your Boot time. On my snadisk cruzer I have a boot time of 50sec on two of my computers and 1min 14seconds on my new old laptap It is 3+ min on an SD card with a reader which is slow. Boot time is 66 sec, now with 4.1 beta. BTW, I use the option to load all into ram, which slows the booting...

I got a new fast USB stick (OCZ ATV Turbo, > 30 MB/s read speed), hoping to get a faster boot of Puppy than from my old stick with 1/3 the speed. However, the boot-time is only ~ 10% faster with the new stick. Why? Does it depend more on CPU and RAM speed? 1.6 GHz, 512 RAM, Puppy 4.00 k2.6.21.7 (..y...

StanF, I am newbie to Linux and Puppy, so I may be way off, but here goes: Have you tried a frugal install instead of a full install? I believe with a frugal install applications will start much faster, as they are all in the RAM (and I think you have sufficient RAM). The downside is a slower bootup...

I think the non-cleartype is a bit too thin and blocky; the cleartype is just right; and my Puppy Opera fonts are waaaay too heavy.

Update: after doing a bit of searching and reading about Linux vs. Windows vs. Mac fonts, I realize that what fonts people like is highly subjective. I have seen example comparisons posted, where I find the Linux fonts horrible, while others have the opposite preference. Ideally, I would like to be ...

Sertse: Download the binary and put it somewhere in the path (por example, /usr/bin) then, edit .xinitrc and the config file. I too have problems, could you please explain in much greater detail? I managed to install it, I have a stalonetray application, which if I run it gives a small bar with an ...

Hi Gray, I like Boxpup, it looks really nice! I have a few problems and suggestions. 1. If I change the global font size (and restart), Opera will start mostly outside the screen, with only a small corner of the program visible and no way to move it. The only way I found around this problem is to sh...

Upload a screen capture of your XP to tinypic, and post here the url, so I can see what I'm competing against... ***edited: I would especially like to see this page: http://www.komonews.com/ whose webmaster seems fiendishly dedicated to continual refinement to make it ever more Vista-friendly and L...

It helps to appreciate the beauty of these, if you are looking at a notebook LCD or a TFT flatpanel screen, and viewing at fullscreen in your image viewer (mtPaint or IrfanView).

I am a Linux newbie trying to get my Puppy to look a little nicer. Every small step seems to require a huge amount of study for the non-Linux expert. I downloaded Monica for addjusting the gamma, as suggested in another thread, but when I run it I get the message that xgamma is missing. So I tried t...

I had a look at the screenshots by the OP (the "before" and "after"), and my reaction was:"You have got to be kidding! All that and so little improvement?"

Sorry to say it, but text looks far better on my Windows XP than they do in your screenshots.

Solved! See my post at: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 4&start=15

By device, do you mean my wireless card? It's an Intel PRO Wireless 2200 BG. Yes, yes. That means that your wifi driver should be the ipw2200. But there are so many questions still remaining about your circumstances. This forum thread is, after all, not about wifi connectivity in general. It was cr...

I thought that crypto_blkcipher was related to WEP encryption, but I see from JustGreg's results in Puppy4.01alpha2 that the crypto_blkcipher module is loaded after a WPA connection ... so maybe it's necessary for both WEP and WPA. When I tried to load I got a message saying "driver not found&...

UPDATE June 9 2008: In recent kernels there is one more important cryptographic module related to wifi - crypto_blkcipher Some wifi modules do not use generic cryptographic modules, but have unique encryption-related modules. For example, the ath_pci (MADWiFi) module depends on the wlan_wep module....
