refering to yesterdays's message http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70844&start=142
I confirm your comments about folder icon mismatching and its presence in other puppies.

The xf86-input-synaptics-xf86-input-synaptics-1.499.1-i486.pet of Aug 19 did not fix my synaptics touchpad behavior and introduced more serious problems, likely a minor fix for you. I will PM you some diagnostics.

Thanks!

Tried that... made no difference. I dont have Mesa installed, just generic Intel laptop built in graphics. Actually, the rendering is excellent. There is just something very strange going on between X and Rox. Have never seen this behavior in a Puppy before. It only happens if I move a file between two windows or move a desktop icon. In all other situations, including dragging windows around, the rendering is dead stable.

...maybe a little bit stupid: Slacko is asking for lang_pack_xx at firstrun/pfix=ram.

Are there any lang_packs or we take some prevoius (shinbar's) or...?

mave.. on the todo list, however many from wary/lupq will work. There are NLS files for major progs in PPM

onto Pupdial,

I have shrank it and fixed syntax errors, it now fits on my eee screen res, 800x480, though the "CHOOSE" GUI (modem test, delete etc) looks atrocious on the eee

Note the error rodin.s was getting is the expected behaviour according to the gtkdialog examples.. Confused

. However there is a proper way discovered by jemimah..

Spup-312.37 let me probe and select my screen resolution of 1440x900 in xorg, beautiful desktop!

Slacko-4.99.1 Lets me probe and select 1440x900 from list but... when it loads, it auto puts me in 'versa' instead of xorg with a resolution of 1224x1224. I select the xorg feature it suggests after that, again, probe, select 1440x900, again gives me only 1224x1224 with no 1440x900 option.

This makes the screen way to large for monitor and desktop icons (top ones) are half hid 'off screen'.

Does not appear to make any difference, same screen problem remains?

New pupdial works.

Hello,
I only remembered that I should submit a bug report somewhat after-the-fact, so I'm sorry for not posting this sooner. I am having a problem with regards to starting X. If I select probe at the xorg wizard window and go straight into the desktop, X will boot just fine unless I have to do a restart. If I have to restart, X will turn over, I will see the cursor for a few seconds, and my screen will dissolve into weird multicolored lines. Hitting control Alt backspace does not work, and so far I have been forced to do a hard reboot whenever this happens. If I select “test" at the resolution setup menu, the test will run just fine, but I will encounter the same problem that I do as when I have to restart X. I attempted to manually select the graphics card that I use, but I noticed that the one which I normally use doesn't appear to be in the menu anymore. I am running the latest Slacko beta version on a Dell latitude D610 laptop, 1.73 GHz, 500 megs of RAM with a Radeon mobility X300 graphics card with 64 megs of memory. In Lucid, I normally manually selected the radeonhd driver at start up. I should also mention that in previous attempts with this version of Slacko, Xvesa didn't work either. However, it normally worked on this computer in Lucid 5.25.
Yours,
