I would like to understand and resolve the touchpad issue.

1. Do I understand correctly that if the computer is auto configured then the synaptics touchpads work correctly?

2. If xorgwizard is run then the touchpads do not work and flsynclient gives an error?

What happens if someone tries to use flsynclient in case #1 above?

Shinobar, do I gather from below that changing some code in xorgwizard will eliminate case #2? If w2e change that code does the problem go away?

Shinobar, does your pet which has been referred to handle both cases? If so why don't we put it into the distro?

What I would like is the solution that is most transwparent to users and *works* every time.

Everyone please help me understand. Thank you.

Concerning ayttm and our search for a lean full-featured chat client.

That's a tough one.

The original purpose of ayttm was to give a connection to the puppy chat line for help with Puppy. It still does that. Has anyone ever used that capability?

Do enough people use a "full-featured chat client" to justify our search? We have Pidgin in the PPM for those who chat. Install it once and it is there forever.

So right now, I am inclined to leave ayttm with its original purpose in mind.

Comments?

In fact there is an updated Pidgin 2.7.3 posted just a couple of messages below here.

------------------------------------------------------------------

We will move to a feature freeze soon, no hurry, but when 01micko moves from beta on Quickpet and shinobar is satisfied with the firstrun dialog. So if you have requests, now's the time!

Nvidia card

Nvidia 173.14.25 is the one that works for me.

Hi playdayz,

Recently I asked why - if I run Lucid Puppy 5.1 from the standard live CD and then run Htop my RAM usage displays as only 40 MB.

Bruce B kindly replied it is because Htop does not do the math correctly. This also seems to be the case with Widget RAM reporting.

Now I know the reason it is no longer of personal concern, but it may be generally helpful if all or any programs which misreport Puppy RAM could be amended without undue effort.

My regards

A newbie simple question.
How do I know what window manager is being used at initial start?
