Nobody seems to be interested but eventually I substituted the Xorg.conf from Slacko 5.3.2 which does have a useable Dvorak Layout and it worked on Quirky as well. I am surprised that it worked like that.
Regards Dennis.

Oops this was supposed to go in the Quirky Xerus thread but I made a mistake. I would appreciate it if a moderator could move it or remove it if necessary. Sorry about this. Regards Dennis. As I use a Dvorak keyboard it has always been convenient to use this option on first bootup and I have done it...

I have been using Puppy for many years and have always used the Dvorak keyboard which has been an option at first load. Of late some of the versions have accepted the option but when booted have opened with the normal querty layout and shown that the dvorak layout is selected but not loaded I am usi...

Watchdog . Thanks for the info,I did a fresh install with the Hplip Print Scan 3.16.11 and the printer operates as it should. I had tried those from that thread before but not on a fresh install and not on this particular Slacko 32 6.3.2
Thanks again and Regards Dennis

decided not to bother commenting... waste of words. So why did you bother? Regards Dennis. Because, considering you are using freely worked on and produced software, I found your attitude rude and made my comment accordingly (two comments actually), but then decided I was fed up with hearing yet an...

Hi, dalderton. I think you are not so polite: this is open source for free and you cannot pretend anything. If you have solutions. post them and we will thank you. If you have a problem just politely ask for someone having a solution. I have printing working without problems in slacko 6.3.2 32 bit ...

I feel myself firmly rebuked and did not intend to antagonize anyone. I obviously appreciate the workers in this field as evidenced by my long term use of these Puppy O.S.s I have been a bit frustrated with the problem and I was making a general observation. I will now return to my kennel and lick m...

I do what I have with Cups for the last 10 years or so and sometimes when I call up the localhost 631 I get Cannot Connect etc. and if I get through that and install a printer I get nothing or sometimes I get Unsupported Format /vnd. cups-banner. Extensive googleing get more question than answers so...

What do I do? pretty much what I have done for the last 10-15 years with Pups. Click on setup click on manage printers Wait for the Cups to come up on the browser. Then I get on some variations Cannot Connect If I get past that then Find new printer ,select the printer found , go to the driver secti...

I have a fresh frugal install of 6.3.2 unmolested and guess what? wil not print. HP Deskjet 1510 that works elsewhere but with no specific driver in the install system. I have been using puppy for many years and the present crop of Puppies seem to be worse than they ever have been to get a working p...

Thanks for the reply but I think that you misunderstood me.The icon in the menu for gpdfview is greyed out and does not produce the interface which stops me in my tracks. The program is not shown in /usr/share/applications but in /usr/local/bin it is shown as the default pdf viewer so it appears to ...

It is a frugal install and it is 64bit as shown in the heading. I must say in passing that over the years the various versions of Puppy have become very unreliable with many of their included items non functioning from the start.One is that I have used a Dvorak keyboard for a long time and until lat...

gpdfview is shown on the document menu but it is greyed out and does not function.It is shown as being present on the PPM.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

st downloaded and booted 6.9.9.9 but when I attempted to install the Puppy installer did not see the 7 partitions on Sda (including 3 for windows and 3 for pups) but did see the 3 partitions on Sdb with 2 pups installed. I have been using Puppy for many years and this has never happened before, I al...

Thanks again. Right I have sorted the Opera problem on the new 6.0.6 on the different partition. As to the original problem with the resolution I have tried deleting X11/xorg.conf and rebooting after which the mouse was dead. Replaced the xorg.conf with a backup and same story.rebooted in safe mode ...

This is all getting a bit complex I am afraid but as a matter of interest I frugal installed Tahrpup 6.0.6 this afternoon and it worked perfectly using 1600*900 resolution straight from the go. This was on the same computer with the same monitor on a different partition on the Hard disc.Maybe if I u...

[/quote] I tried that but the Xorg wizard is not showing "xrandr" for whatever reason and it doesnt work. Regards Dennis It appears on further research that xrandr is present but when I opened it in the terminal it quoted 1152*864 0.0* as the maximum available. This is not the case as I ha...

I have been running this version for some time with no problems until recently I was forced to kill a page and when I rebooted the screen resolution had changed. With my monitor the resolution has been 1600+900 and it has now changed to 1152+864 and only lower resolutions available on the Xorg video...
