Yep, Xvesa does load in a flash!

Well, I tried putting the file into the Startup folder. I got the same results as before.....the xmodmap commands worked fine, the xset commands did not.

Back to Xvesa.

This is a problem I've seen mention of in several places, but I've not seen a solution that worked for me.

Oh well......

I think I'm still stickin' with Puppeee - I've always been a speed junkie! :wink:

I use xvesa, too. Doesn't work well with some video formats, so if I want to watch a movie, I have to choose xorg and restart x. Not a big deal.

Hi Jak,

I find that, using Chrome, that YouTube videos play smoother under Xvesa.

Have you found a good way to use XBindKeys under Xvesa?

TIA!

In the early days of Eee 701 support in Puppy, I downloaded all Eee Linux driver source code from ASUS and I discovered a modem driver amongst it.
Further investigation revealed that there was an optional modem card available for early Eee's, which plugged into an MDC connector on the motherboard. Apparently this modem required a bios upgrade before it could be recognised.

I can't find that source code, but I can find some of my old notes which say that the modem is a "Conexant RD02-D110".
My notes also indicate that the modem driver will create updated versions of the snd-hda-intel and snd-hda-codec modules. Clearly it's an ALSA modem.

H, Digger,

I don't use XBindKeys; in fact, after your post, I fired up pfind and couldn't even find XBindKeys.

I use an early, 900-specific (no elantech) jemimah-built kernel and a jemimah 4.31 iso, both circa October 2009. Perhaps she didn't include it and obviously, i haven't needed it.

Both kernel and iso worked with my original 4.31 pupsave file, so other than bluetooth, some wifi configuration, and desktop modification, I haven't had call to install too much new stuff.

Her setup, especially with xvesa, gives me a 23-second power-on boot, the fastest I've found with my eee and linux.

Her work is so good that should this eee 900 die, I'd simply replace it rather than look to a newer model.

Couldn't bear the thought of starting all over again :)

tempestuous,
Thanks for the info on the early modem option. Considering that it was probably an option rarely exercised, I will wait until someone requests support for it, before even looking into building the modem driver.

rerwin, yes, not a common device, but not entirely obscure, either. Apparently ASUS provided the motherboard MDC connector for a generic modem. Dell sells such a modem as part number M5804 or model number H6660.
The PCI ID is 14F1:2BFA
It still requires some customised wiring, as explained here -
http://modmyeee.com/modem.html

As I understand it, support is via the Linuxant ALSA patches from here -
http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/

I just tried the 1.0.20-2 and 1.0.23-1 patches against the 2.6.33.2 kernel source now, and both applied with a few errors.

puppeee 4.4-rc2

#2632 Post by Volhout »

scottman,

I do not have the iso anymore, but I should have an sd card install that I can zip up and put on dropbox (puppeee 4.4-rc2) if you can't find the official iso anywhere.

Jemimah had the iso's on her own web page, and when she left (stopped paying for the space) the web page with all it's iso's and pets disappeared.
And since it happened unxpected, there was no-one prepared to mirror.

Too bad....

Just read in a mail tread about "tinted slacko" that user "ally" mirrored this puppy derivative as his 1800'th puppy version. If that is the case it is almost certain he also has puppeee 4.4-RC2 atom mirrored. You could contact him.

Volhout

edit: I checked and look at:

https://archive.org/details/PuppyLinuxPuppeee

The 130.6 Mbyte iso download (left panel) is puppeee 4.4-beta1 both celeron and atom. Under "other files" it has the modem drivers pet you where looking for. The 115 Mbyte iso is RC2, but it does not have atom or celeron specified, so not sure which one it is.
