I ran some tests on a newer machine with Intel graphics and the video worked fine.

However, the sfs_load bug continues. The gtkdialog doesn't render properly.

First, I'd like to say great job on Fatdog64! Since I've bought my new Toshiba laptop (Satellite L755-5216), I've not been able to get if fully operational with Puppy 5.2.8 or 5.2.9 (referring to http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=71023). Regardless I luv Puppy and it's only a matter of time before it'll will work out.

Last night, for S&Gs I tried Fatdog64, since the laptop came with 64-bit Win 7. Well, using Fatdog64, my video looks good (screen is at native resolution). I get audio (another positive). But my wifi nic was not recognized. So after some research, I found the

The box that I thought was a 939 turned out to be yet another recently acquired 754. Having discovered the real 939 , FD turned out to be a bit of a disaster - so many issues I haven't the time to record/list, so running it on Slacko and LM-LXDE11. [Slacko not without it's own' features', but these I can live with.]

joe0855,

You might give the Network Wizard a try. If the firmware isn't too huge we'll include it.

Also, I've fixed the dbus pet.

FYI: I have uploaded the contents of the emachines AMD Fusion laptop /tmp files here hopefully to help in hacking a solution to the hanging problem (even Slacko B2 hangs in that machine, but Fatdog64 511 does not).

Thanks Jamesbond and Kirk.

I tried using the Network Wizard (depreciated), which does allow more flexibility to choose the correct WPA protocol. However still no outside access to the internet (tried WPA/TKIP and WPA2). Frisbee is also a nogo.

I am however able to access my wireless router using the default browser. I can also ping internal IPs (ie 192.168.1.5) using the terminal application.

I then tried changing my browser settings to 'No proxy', still nogo.

Man, I'm sooo close. Got my video, audio... but wifi is kinda important though Wink

Kirk, please pardon my ignorance, but what does the dbus pet do. Found 'dbus-1.2.16.pet' on the FD64 ibiblio, installed it but didn't notice any differences. Thanks again!

joe0855,

Can you ping 208.67.222.222? If you can then you are getting out to the internet and your DNS settings are wrong for some reason. /etc/resolv.conf contains the address to your DNS server. If you can ping 208.67.222.222, then put that in /etc/resolv.conf and try that. The dbus pet is only needed if you install some external package that requires dbus. Fatdog64 packages are compiled without dbus. The firmware you mentioned is already included.

raffy,

You said that your ati video works in 511. The big difference between 511 and 520 for radeon is that KMS is enabled by default. Try booting with nomodeset. The ati driver is supposed to run with or without KMS. All of the drivers have been updated as well and that could be the problem in your case.
