Yep, I have it. It's Ok I am not really excited by it.

I am planing on recompiling two or three different builds in precise 5.5 this weekend. We will see which works best. Right now I am leaning more to an older build.

The MP-Darkness-1.pet is now on my page in the mp529 folder. This is an updated version of Victors original Darkness theme. It is an old school type theme with larger menu fonts and left side window buttons. Enjoy !! :D

I would also like to mention that last march 15th was the five year anniversary of the macpup project. :D

I would also like to mention that last march 15th was the five year anniversary of the macpup project. Very Happy
Then I would like to congratulate !

Am running MP529 frugal PUPMODE=12 today to see if I could get xorgwizard to load the vesa driver instead of the intel one. Probably need to "options i915 modeset=0" it to achieve it.

For the XKB Module there I would like to mention to search for fbxkb .pet on the forum . That works quite fine .
I have something like this into /root/Startup

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc102 -layout us,de,dk,fr -variant "" -option grp:rwin_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch
which fbxkb && exec fbxkb
E17 tray behaves a little better when inserting a tray applet after e17 has configured as on Foxy3 . Am missing the recover xmessage menu a little bit for now to recognize when e17 loads an older whatever.cfg file .

Also have set mouse buttons to behave like in jwm to scroll from screen to screen :
Control Panel > Input > Mouse Buttons > Add > scroll down/up in the popup > Change to right/left Workspace + Check container .

[ * BTW Do you mean tourists as "leafers" ? Like the caravan of camels . Nevertheless, probably the first of the egypt themes i'll try. But today it is Moonlight-3 :) ]

I call my buddy Jeff and his gang the leafers cause they use a leaf as the symbol of their distro. :lol:

Example :
tail /root/.xinitrc from_some_other_Puppy _at_the_moment wrote:# rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
#fi

#exec $CURRENTWM
#v2.11 GuestToo suggested this improvement...
which $CURRENTWM && exec $CURRENTWM
[ -x $CURRENTWM ] && exec $CURRENTWM
exec jwm

###END###
Put something like this above #exec $CURRENTWM

Code: Select all

setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc102 -layout us,de -variant "" -option grp:rwin_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch
to be able to toggle at least using the right Win Key (not sure if Laptop has right Win Key -> -option grp:lwin )

Note : There seems to be a "bug" in Xorg detected by npierce some longer time ago, that disables the toggling if -layout de,us and I did not played with it much because somehow I always added de to the existing us layout in the xkbconfigmanager, which always made us first , but the few times I played with it, npierce was right.

Note about xkbconfigmanager : It writes into the existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf , which would lose it's changes every time new Chip or Monitor is detected . That's why I put it normally into /root/.xinitrc .

Note about remaster : Make sure, your changes in /root ( and /etc ) flush into it ( .hidden files obstacles) .

Hi Karl Godt !
Can make german keyboard working by using Advanced xorg-Keyboard-configuration but it will not be saved .
Configuration also does not last after restarting xserver .
How to make it persistent ?

Might be a feature of the new xorgwizard-automatic "crap" .

http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.5/doc/man/man1/setxkbmap.1.html

Dunno much about setxkbmap other than to look into Dougal's code in /usr/local/apps how he does it .

Hi.

I have downloaded MacPup 529 because of its beautiful Egypt-Theme. Before I began my work on LazY Puppy I did already try MacPup 525 which has worked fine on all of my Computers.

The 529 unfortunately has redraw problems on desktop and inside the rox windows - like all newer puppies I've tried until today.

Only about 60% of the upper desktop and window contents are visible and redraw works correctly.

The rest of the desktop and window contents are invisible!

Is there any solution for this redraw problems available?

Seems not to have nv_drv.so on board . Have intel chip and my nvidia cards are ten years old and have not tested MP529 on the old boxes until now .
