I downloaded mywolf 028 to see how it runs with my hardware, as with most puppy's it has a problem with my rt2870/rt3070sta usb wireless dongle, to fix this I added rt3070.bin to /lib/firmware, this gets it working, it's not a perfect fix as the network tray icon flashes and the received total increments by 1k every couple of seconds, there don't seem to be any downloading actually happening though, this may cause a problem if you rely on the monthly amount downloaded as it will be way out and unusable

Geoffrey thanks for your advice in this matter but I do not have BarryK's xxx patch in MyWolfe was not sure if it was yet ready so did not put it in. Was mostly afraid it was tied to much to the older kernel and there would of beee more problems that not to put it in. Will have to look more into the usb wireless dongle setup and see what is best. Have been testing Frisbee to see if there is more stability in the wireless part may see if it helps in the usb wireless dongle area. If you want to test it

GrumpyWolfe, I have tried Frisbee, it works fine since I added the rt3070.bin accept for that annoying constant flashing problem I have, I had the same problem in fluppy also, I've tried building a new driver but can't seem to get it to compile, then I'm not that experienced when it comes to compiling, but I'm sure that someone will get it done sooner or later, in the mean time I can work my way around it, oh by the way, nice distro, I'm a NOP fan so it's familiar.
I've been play around with some of the setting and tried the .gtkrc-2.0 file that I modified in NOP, this will give transparent background for the desktop icon text, I think it looks nicer.
.gtkrc-2.0 code
Code: Select all
# dummy panel gtk settings to allow color setting in gtkrc files
style "panel"
{
font_name = "DejaVu Sans 11"
}
widget_class "*Panel*" style "panel"
# this is the new part for transparent icon text box
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
style "sbstyle"
{
}
widget_class "*Scrollbar*" style "sbstyle"
class "*Scrollbar*" style "sbstyle"
widget_class "*GtkScale*" style "sbstyle"
class "*GtkScale*" style "sbstyle"
widget_class "*GtkProgress*" style "sbstyle"
class "*GtkProgress*" style "sbstyle"
style "menubar"
{
}
class "*MenuBar*" style "menubar"
widget_class "*MenuBar.*" style "menubar"
style "theme-menu"
{
}
class "GtkMenu" style "theme-menu"
style "menu-item"
{
}
widget_class "*MenuItem.*" style "menu-item"
class "GtkMenuItem" style "menu-item"
class "GtkTearoffMenuItem" style "menu-item"
class "GtkImageMenuItem" style "menu-item"

Open your xorg.conf it is at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look at the driver loaded for your video card see if it is loading the nv driver or the nivida driver. It will be around line 145

What is the lcd monitor normal settings for the 800 by 600 seams to be small for it maybe you need try increasing the resolution some. Try setting it to nv and increasing your resolution some and see if that does not help

Hi Grumpywolfe
I test your puppy and i like it.
But i missed some properties of the standard puppy
specially the drive icons on the desktop.
I try the thunar volman with no success .
Run only usb devices with adding some usb rules.
So i add :
rox and a call for pup_frontend_evend_d into .xinitrc
an improved shutdown dialog
enabled fuse for lameSMB
new theme
....
Hope you like it.
