Does this look like it should get the top and right edges to scroll?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
synclient MaxTapTime=220
synclient TapButton1=1
synclient RBCornerButton=3
synclient VertEdge Scroll=1
synclient VertScrollDelta=100
synclient HorizEdgeScroll=1
synclient HorizScrollDelta=111

Perhaps I am missing a step?

I opened ~/root/Startup/ on my wife's laptop.

I created a new file and named it tpad

I edited the file with this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
synclient TouchpadOff=0 
I rebooted and the touchpad still worked.

Have I misunderstood something, please?

Possibly your script is not runnable, the syntax is not right also
synclient TouchPadOff=1
disables the touchpad....
In console: chmod a+x /root/Startup/tpad
or with rox right click over the file > Properties and tick all the execute boxes.....
or right click in /root/Startup and choose New > Script and the file is executable straight.

Hi,
maybe this is trivial ...sorry then ... :oops:

just to mention that the xorg.conf created at 1st pristine boot (i.e. doing pfix=ram) does not have the «Section InputDevice» for the «Synaptics Mouse»; the above mentionned script have no effect using that 1st-boot-pristine-xorg.conf (there comes an error message like «synaptics driver not installed» ).

Xorgwizard must be activated after 1st boot to create a new xorg.conf containing a «Section InputDevice» with synaptics settings in it.

Cheers :wink:

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.9 has been uploaded. It uses still 3.4.2 kernel

Updates, additions and changes:
- Recent woof used.
- Firefox 14.01
- e17 - enlightenment window manager has been recompiled from recent git trunk, theme has been changed and lookout has been simplified still. The font is now bigger and uses Deja Vu Sans. Call it aging, lol.
- Pup-volume-monitor added and PcmanFM filemanager uses it. Especially in e17 wm you get from desktop PcmanFM icon clicking possibility to see partitions and drives and mount them.
- PcmanFm filemanager added as stated above. It uses pup-volume-monitor for drives and partitions
- Rerwin`s outstanding work with broadcom drivers has reached le grande finale and it should be now pure proof.
- Rerwin`s suggested woof system script fix package has been included: the post of the content and modifications is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 525#633525
- As a test...after discussion with rerwin...I have moved all the firmwares to the /lib/firmware from the /lib/modules/all-firmware. The reason. When the firmwares are loaded....they are copied to the /lib/firmware and that way they take some space from savefile. Also there is no need for 2 places of firmwares....they are not compressed anymore. Base sfs compresses them anyway.

- Kirk`s filesharing between puppy and other comps has been added with needed applications. There is menu item under Network. Easy way to feed big file to your home other comps. PureFTPD has been added due to this file sharing.
- Sc0ttman and stu90 have done great work with rtmpdump which streams tv and radio stations to the mplayer. I created menu entries for them under Multimedia: Streamplay TV and Streamplay Radio. Enjoy. There is atm 64 tv stations and 640 icecast stations.
- Zigbert has been busy. He has updated most of his Puppy apps and I have updated the build with them.
- Don570 has created nice Pmusic folder playlist rox right click. Thanks.
- Dhcpcd for sns and wpa_supplicant for sns and frisbee have been updated to the latest versions.
- I think couple of Radky`s Puppy apps has been updated also.
- Get LibreOffice has been updated to the latest version from the thread.
- several script reconfiguration...so that they should work smoothly with jwm and e17.
- several small fixes under the hood.....

Due to e17 reconfiguration....iso size is still about 137 MB. Not bad. Xz compression though.

D/L new iso and booted to desktop.
Sound works, internet auto connected.

Remastered using Rerwin's changes mentioned above. These changes work great. No problems to report at this point. Off to do full install to ext4 hard drive partition. Will report back later on results

Thank your majorfoo. The initial reports by you sounds encouraging. Remastering seems to behave with rerwin`s scripts. I am sure he is delighted to read your feedback.

I installed exprimo to a 4gb flash drive.
Installed devx,kernelsourcesfs,and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.22.run
I installed a few pets.
Did you know that VLC is up to version 2.0.3?
I'm using a vlc that I made in racy, works good in Exprimo too.
5.X.3.4.2.9 is working well so far.

Hi pemasu,

I'm really sorry to have to do this, but I'm sure you want to know.
The Broadcom 43 issues which were occurring with the earlier versions prior to 5.X.3.4.2.8 have regressed in 5.X.3.4.2.9.

I have no wifi and shutdown/reboot fails. This error occurs whether attempting to create a save file or not.

The results of pmodemdiag is attached.

Terry H. Thank you of your valuable report. Something is definitively wrong with my build concerning broadcom detection. But it will be fixed. I reported to rerwin about your feedback. It might be that I have missed some crucial file or then the logistics still need polishing.

Experiment 7 by rerwin has been included. All previous broadcom detection stuff has been removed. That is not the problem. The problem needs investigation. There is error in logistic or I have missed something.

My HP550 laptop with b43 wifi is working fine with 5.x.3.4.2.9 - the wl driver is being loaded and used as expected - frisbee creates a wifi connection AOK which survives a reboot - but my b43 is a reasonably well behaved one that doesn't need a fallback from wl to the b43 driver..........

Posting from 5.x.3.4.2.9 now...

TerryH's wifi is trying to use b43 driver but the following error messages are in "messages" in his pmodemdiag:
Aug 6 00:59:16 puppypc13700 user.err kernel: [ 26.302335] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found
Aug 6 00:59:16 puppypc13700 user.err kernel: [ 26.302338] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not found
suggest the necessary firmware is not being found.....even though ucode5.fw is in /lib/firmware/b43
(b43-open does not exist?)

However, if I blacklist wl and reboot, the firmware for my b43 (ucode13.fw) IS loaded and the b43 driver works fine:
[ 27.473373] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 666.2 (2011-02-23 01:15:07)

Upgraded from 5.X.3.4.2.8 to 5.X.3.4.2.9 today. I booted from CD, left the old save file where it was (on a USB flash), which was updated to .9 at boot.

There were some problems:
- Frisbee did not want to go wireless, eth0 was OK.
- Pfind could not find any files from root and froze at some point. Had to
close/kill it.

I tried to send a detailed attachment, but for some reason that doesn't work for me.

I did not investigate further. A bit desperate, I booted from the old .8 CD and voila, everything works like before.

Could the trouble have to do with the old save file?

Anyway, I'm working on a GPS navigation program that I want to have up and running in two weeks from now. So far it works well on .8, so I stick with it for now.

Just wanted to let you know.

As always. When you have problem when using old savefile. Test with puppy pfix=ram (cd usage) or pfix=ram (frugal installation) booting to ensure that the problems are not caused by using older savefile. I have upgraded several applications, including dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant which might affect to the wireless connection if you use old savefile.
