Running xorgwizard does cure the FlSynclient problem - and settings persist through reboot.01micko wrote:Hi peebee
Good to see the broadcom connected ok, and pnethood works too.
Try running xorgwizard to see if that cures synaptics woes. I have a compaq a little older (2008) and synaptics is ok.
HTH

SNS settings are persistent thru reboot but I have had to install the Stay-Connected pet to get the connection permanent.

Good to know, I can fix that, just add a new synaptics section to the skinny xorg.conf, should work, or even pop up a message to run xorgwizard if I can detect that synaptics isn't loaded (I can through the /var/log/xorg.0.log ). It's an interesting read!peebee wrote: Running xorgwizard does cure the FlSynclient problem - and settings persist through reboot.

You can give frisbee a whirl if you want. In Slickpet.
Thanks for report.

Slacko 310.37
I did a manual frugal install of 310-37 and installed the devx.
I set up sound by right clicking on retrovol in the tray and doing the
configuration etc.
I setup the equalizer in the multimedia menu section.
I installed the qt473 spup pets that I made a while ago and then
downloaded and compiled umplayer.
I installed the nvidia driver using slickpet:

0.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2)

...the above also recorded at '/tmp/root/report-video-glx'.
# glxgears
24910 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4982.000 FPS
31395 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6279.000 FPS
31351 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6270.200 FPS
Looking good so far, will test more.

Thanks for testing
If you look in the pequalizer code (/usr/local/pequalizer) you will see a 'first run' file. Some of the tips in there may help because we aren't using a standard alsa.conf here. I did expect some troubles [ ].
It was designed to trap cases where if you tried to run pequalizer or pmusic and the alsaequal failed. (lack of $HOME/.alsaequal.bin should indicate this) .
Hopefully if you browse that code it can be of some use to you. I was flying blind because it worked on my 5 test boxes, only 2 had mute sound and they often have mute sound in any pup.

Billtoo,
I guess you noticed the nvidia driver is the full enchilada. It does run glxgears much smoother and also gives better frame rates.
The kernel source is in the second post if you want to try your ati gear.

I got the kernel source, thanks.
I found that I should have installed mesa before installing the
proprietary ati driver but I got there in the end

Slacko lift off . . .
Test Slacko :
1) CDRom , pfix=ram :Desktop OK -> Slickpet -> NVidia driver : OK (I only downloaded it )
2) Personalize Settings : fr, Europe/Paris; UTC Azerty; Numlock; 1600x1200;Utf-8.... : OK
But Numlock is bad (even after reboot)
3) Wizard -> Choose -> Nvidia... -> glxgears : OK.
glxgears :
45315 frames in 5.0 seconds
Slckpet : French language : OK
SOUND : retrovol is bad. retrovol tray slider displays good but sound is always ... MAXI and 'config window' or 'full window' do nothing.
So all players without sound slider are bad (pmusic,pupradio streaming)
except Numlock and retrovol, everything looks good on the desktop and everything is working wonderfully.
But testing is very difficult . Here it's summer... birds are singing and girls are beautifull on the beach...
Congratulations

Just a question about the version number.
Is 310 the correct one or is this a typo and should it be 130, the previous one being 120.

Installed this slacko.
At the end of the first session a save file was created.
But instead of rebooting, as I wanted to do, I got a black screen and the system had to be forced to power off.
When booting again, I got the desktop and the save file was ok.
Then I saw I had no sound. In the mixer I saw the master volume was muted.
Vattery presents a white battery icon in the system tray indicating a charge of 98%
dhcpcd isn't at the latest level.
wpa_supplicant isn't at the latest version either.
Will monitor if I have connection loss.
My application setup is working ok.

downloaded iso and devx with good sumchecks. Frugal hdd install to ext4 manually copied files. would not recognize my troublesome HP broadcom wl wifi dirver. did recognize usb ar9170usb after I manually loaded it. updated packages, downloaded and installed several. rebooted but failed to recognize usb wifi and unable to load the driver. lsmod showed car19710 at usbcore but unable to rmmod. deleted save file started over but would not recognize usb wifi.
Have you got a wl driver for this kernel?
-------
just read in another thread about creating a save file then set up wifi...might try that

I have just compiled and uploaded wl driver, get it here and let me know if it works. You may have to blacklist b43 and perform other magic tricks, search some of tempestuous' threads for more info.

First, the version increase is intentional
Wifi has been troublesome on certain drivers, for example, with my tp-link usb sticks (rt73) if I move far from the router then it can be crappy, whereas on my eee-701SD (r8180) I can move to the bottom of my back yard and still surf, upload, download comfortably with no dropouts.. been running it 3 days non-stop, not a single dropout, other gear seems ok too. I did try a newer dhcpcd with no difference. That's why I compiled all the frisbee deps and introduced it.. it is much better on my tp-link usb sticks. Intel wifi seems ok. HTH.

Did fresh boot no save file it recognized ar9170usb wlan0 on usb so did nothing but shutdown making a savefile. on reboot it acts possessed. did not see the usb wlan0 could not bring it up with sns, network wizard or manually. Looks like carl9170 may have been conflicting.
