Fatdog 600 works great for me. There is just one weird problem I've found. The taskbar entries for open windows don't show the icons for each application; they all look the same. Screenshot attached. Does anyone else have this behavior? Does anyone know how to solve it? I've seen the same thing on t...

I've been using Puppy 421 for years. But my new laptop (Panasonic CF-C1) is too new for it... So I've been trying the newer Puppy versions and derivatives. Fatdog runs the best; it's the only puppy I've found that correctly identifies the networking and display hardware. Everything seems great excep...

The touchpanel always seems to put the cursor in the same place no matter what MinX, MaxX, MinY, MaxY values I put. This was also the "best" result I got with my Panasonic T-5, which has a Fujitsu USB touchscreen. My theory was that X11 was getting data from the touchscreen, but it was in...

I've had lots of trouble connecting to WPA networks, especially with hidden SSIDs. Now thanks to some help from tempestuous and others here, I have a solution. First, I got rid of everything in /etc/network-wizard . There were lots of old profiles from earlier failed attempts. Second, I manually cre...

I also have had lots of trouble with WPA and an Intel 3945 laptop. It worked for a while at home only with Puppy 4.0, but could never connect anywhere else. Since I upgraded to 4.1 and beyond (now running 4.2.1), it's been pretty flaky. The problems are much worse if I use a hidden SSID on my networ...

when Puppy5 (uPup) is released.

When's that?

tempestuous, It's true that my MPlayer package is 18 months old, but the only significant change to MPlayer since then has been MPEG4 hardware acceleration support. Did you enable one of the MPEG4 acceleration features, such as VDPAU? Do you have any plans to update mplayer for puppy to support hard...

- the bios might need to changed from "Tablet" to "Touch Panel". - the Option "Device" value is somewhat unconventional. In your case it might be /dev/usb/hiddev0 ?? - the correct Xorg plugin is evtouch . - make sure that the usbhid module is loaded. * No options relat...

I have a Panasonic Toughbook T5. It has a USB-connected Fujitsu touchscreen. I installed the touchscreen .pet. modprobe usbtouchscreen and evdev work OK. I can see both modules in lsmod. But there is no entry for the touchscreen in /proc/bus/input/devices. I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Versio...

Installing the kernel source as you suggested seems to work. It compiles OK. But installing doesn't completely work: make -C /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/build M=/root/pcc-acpi-0.9-hy20081212 INSTALL_MOD_DIR=kernel/drivers/acpi modules_install make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.7' INSTALL /...

Thanks for the quick reply.

Can I use

kernel-src-2.6.21.7-patched-puppy4.1retro.sfs

with the 2.6.21.7 kernel in puppy 4.0? Or do I need to upgrade to 4.1?

I'm trying to compile additional kernel modules (Panasonic ACPI hotkey driver). The output should be pcc-acpi.ko. make is looking for how to build "modules" in the /lib/modules/2.6.../build directory. The build directory doesn't exist in my puppy (which has devx_400.sfs) Here is the Makefi...

Does anyone have the lirc modules compiled for the 2.6.21 kernel in Puppy 4? I've found LIRC-0.8.1modules-k2.6.18.1.pup , but they only seem to be for older puppies (with 2.6.18 kernel).

Do the LIRC modules in

LIRC-0.8.1modules-k2.6.18.1.pup

work for Puppy 4.0? From what I've found, Puppy 2.16 was the last one to use the 2.6.18 kernel. For newer puppies, do we need LIRC modules compiled for the 2.6.21 kernel? If so, are those available anywhere?

Thanks.
