Is the kernel_sources-3.2.8-ski.sfs from 0.14 still the one to use?

Fresh manual frugal install of Saluki 015 on my main Athlon XP Linux box. Sound and internet good on initial boot , display incorrect at 1280x1024 instead of 1440x900. At least had a desktop and the ability to use xorgwizard through firstrun.

Installed several assorted pets, no problems.

I believe this kernel sources is the right one:

v.15: Well done, angel! Can now get a picture on a wide range of monitors and video cards at boot up. The best results are on 10yr old lcd monitors and bog standard 12yr old AGP cards (typically early Rage), mostly defaulting to correct 1024x768 native. However, the serious problem of overdriving the latest led monitors @1600x1200 represents a real risk to the HW, even though the CTRL-ALT-BKSPCE/xorgwizard or nox cheat code expedients are now available. Still not clear were the 'feature' originates, but the common led monitor default of 1440x900 is missing from the Quickset option list. Fortunately, that res. does still appear in your xorg Probe list, but no longer in BK's Racy & Wary lists.
Probably-hopefully one of the expert gurus like Tman/Mick/pemasu will already have an answer to this worrying aspect before somebody's shiny new monitor goes pop!
Best Wishes for the jobsearch.

I fount some time to look at the b43 failure issue during the 013 to 014 upgrade 1, 2, 3, 4

The problem is

Sage,

The time that monitors would get defect from wrong resolution settings is long gone..... Earlier tube monitors (CGA / Hercules) could be driven with too high frame rates, where the high voltage circuit got overheated. Since the apearance of multi sync monitors (even with the tubes) that stopped since the high voltage was generated independent from the verical sync frequency.

With the flat sceens you only get a message "choose different resolution".

No pops anymore .... the world gets less exciting ....

ok so i downloaded and tested Saluki both 014 and 015 from a flash drive, they will not work. I can boot into the desktop ok, with the usual puppy first time boot welcome screen. that's it.I cannot use mouse, keyboard, mousepad, or do anything

I have managed to set up Saluki to run in vbox. it runs ok. i like the look and feel it has. have to run full install for best results.

hopefully you have some suggestions i can try to get it going. from usb
I figure one of the boot options for Saluki might do the trick. but running from usb does not show the puppy boot options like from cd.

I would really like to use Saluki for my build project click here but without a working usb install its no good to me.
