Nice, small footprint web browser. Thanks!

@Pemasu. Thanks for your reply! You are right. Yes, it seems that I need delays here and there, not only for Bluetooth startup. There are some other, probably related, timing problems that I'm looking into. I''l come back on that later. A reason could be that I work with relatively slow USB 1.1 flas...

I mark this thread as closed. The problems I have with loading of wallpaper and icons have nothing to do with the radeon driver on my laptop. There are other reasons, that I'm still investigating and trying to understand. Incorrectly, I've been jumping conclusions. Blame my newbie ignorance. However...

Thanks for your attention, Pemasu.

There's a problem with Bluetooth at startup: the applet icon is there but with a red cross in it. I cannot turn it on by clicking it. Bluetooth is (should be) automatically started with the /root/Startup/bluetooth script. If I click that script the bluetooth icon disappears and when clicked a second...

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.10 --> should be Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4. 2. 10? Working right out of the box (where I had problems in .9): Frisbee wireless Mplayer Unrelated problems with wallpaper and (drive-) icons loading are gone too. I use Bluetooth a lot (mouse, keyboard, headset) and install Bluetooth-0.5...

It seems to be a regular pattern, but I can't really say until I have done umph reboots. That's not what I intend to do... I'm now looking into /tmp/xerrs.log. There's a lot of information there that I need to compare and understand between 'OK' and 'not OK'. Thanks for giving direction. I'll be bac...

Hi npierce. Ah yes, I played around with 'sleep 7' in .xinitrc. Did not help the screen blank issue, i.e. no wallpaper, no icons. Now the mystery of the disappearing sda1 icon seems solved (or at least worked around), I'm further looking into the screen blank thing now. After lots of reboots I found...

I deleted the squeezesave file and started all over. I made sure that xorg.conf was configured correctly. I then did several reboots and power-offs. Sometimes I had wallpaper and icons, sometimes not but never the sda1 icon. I then found why the sda1 icon is not displayed: Initially, /root/Choices/R...

@beau_tox My video hardware is an ATI Mobility M6 LY (R100) chip. It is significantly different from the more recent ATOM chips. I believe that the ati fglrx driver won't work for me. However, there seem to be similar issues, that may point to radeon driver issues that I discovered earlier. Thanks f...

I guess I've been a bit of help then...in spite of being some 15,000km and 8 hours apart... Wondrous, sort of.

@pemasu I earlier reported that Frisbee wlan was working in the latest Exprimo. Because of some other unrelated problems I deleted the squeezesave file and started all over. To my surprise, Frisbee wlan did not work, again. I use a USB WiFi dongle with Ralink rt5370sta chip/driver. Having similar ex...

Adding an extra delay in .xinitrc did not show the sda1 icon. I reformatted sda with one partition and put the Puppy save file in it and rebooted. Now only the sr0 icon shows, no sda or sdb. After RestartX even sr0 has disappeared. It is not a blocking issue: I can find all drives back with ROX file...

Thanks a lot for your reply, npierce. Getting help from you and of many others in this forum is what makes Puppy Linux great and greater.

I'm using Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.9.

I'll be out of town a couple of days. On return I will certainly follow up.

Thanks again.

rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin: Brings back wallpaper and icons but not the drive icons. grep -m 1 -i '^cpu MHz' /proc/cpuinfo: cpu MHz :1000.000 From start of .xinitrc the approximate timing is: - 10 seconds until the cursor appears - another 5-10 seconds until the tray appears - quickly a...

I reactivated i915.conf in /etc/modeprobe.d. There are no problems with 'Restart X' or 'Restart WM'. Both call xwin and there problems arise with radeon.conf. The problem of missing wallpaper and icons remains. The only workaround is 'Restart X' or 'Restart WM'. That also works from terminal but I w...

I did find *.wh.* files in: /inird/pup_ro1/dev: .wh.snd (file, 0 bytes) /initrd/pup_rw .wh..wh.orph (directory, empty) .wh..wh.plnk (directory, file 8014.7027): .wh..wh.aufs (file, 0 bytes) I didn't look further deep down in directories because I can't use pfind to find *.wh.* files. Reason: pfind d...

Yes, thanks! mplayer-svn11082012.pet works. I saw the post before but did not understand the issues.... GNOME MPlayer does not work, it doesn't recognize video files (greyed out) but Mplayer does. I installed umplayer from the repository and that one works like a charm. Next to a VGA monitor, I use ...

radeonfb does not make a difference...as I expected. I have not found what is wrong... It's getting on my nerves. The reason why I have to restart X often is that at boot the background wallpaper and drive icons are often not loaded. I have had that problem ever since, irrespective of i915 or radeon...

Now using 5.X.3.4.2.9 latest ("B"). No more problems with pfind and frisbee wireless like in "A" version. Unforunately mplayer doesn't work. It just bails out without any message. When using the GNOME MPlayer frontend, I get an error message: 'GNOME MPlayer Error. MPlayer interru...
