Additional findings:
On the laptop that I provide a report on, earlier, closing the laptop lid causes it to go to sleep. But, upon reopening, the system cannot get back to desktop requiring a Hard stop and restart of the laptop.
Again, this is an non-UEFI HP laptop with X2 processor which is used in testing.
Hope this is helpful

I don't know if it'll be of any help, but I'll try it on my laptop, and report.
EDIT: OK, downloaded the 6.3.0.6 32bit iso, extracted to a hard drive directory. Files as at bottom of this post.
Booted frugal slacko, looked fine.
Closed the lid, and the blue power light goes off and on (this is the Dell E6410, I5 Intel processor, presumably uses BIOS rather than UEFI?)
Opened the lid, the screen was blank, then the desktop came back.
Is this called suspend?
Thanks,
Sheldon

Hi gcmartin,
Can you try one thing for me on that laptop? Can be running Slacko 6.3.0, 6.3.0.6, or any of their recent derivs. Change the following in /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh (save the orig. first):
comment out lines 33 and 40.
add a " and a LF to line 43
Save it and try the lid suspend. I really don't expect that to do it but I don't have a machine that fails lid suspend to try it on.
Thanks,
I have a bunch of machines, mostly older laptops and desktop

I've booted the HP DV9917CL and the Dell D620 with 6.3.0.6 so far, no troubles. If I could get my software ported to it and get to where I could easily load my tweaked version, I'd like to do that.
I've customized the Slacko 5.7.0 quite a bit (different kernel, grub2, conky, but mostly just added programs and games, some not normally available), and am trying to figure out how can I do an install of 6.3.0.6 to a machine, add my mods, and then create from that a new ISO that I can burn to CD for the machine that is so old it only has USB 1.1 so can't boot from a flashdrive, and be able to use that CD to install to any of my machines? On my 5.7.0 I have isomaster and pburn, but can't get either to do it, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone point me to a how to for tweaking and making a new ISO out of it?
Thanks for creating Slacko, 5.7.0 Mick. I've got almost everything I wanted, and my only problems are because people keep messing with flash stuff, making it incompatible with the code I'm running. My guess is 6.3.0.6 has better odds of those things working too.

Yes, it is. Thanks for your testing on an Intel based Laptop.
I wonder if anyone has an AMD X2 Laptop test they can share.
Ok, I tested it on an AMD X2 laptop

@Marv, Thanks!
Without making ANY changes, I booted 6301 on LiveCDRW.
Using 6301, I don't have the earlier problems reported when booted 6306; namely lid reopening as well as wired LAN works w/6301.
I cannot find my 6306 disc ATM. When I do, I'll test again. Should I have the problems, again, I will apply your fix, and report what happens on this thread.
Edit: 6306 DVD+RW was overwritten. Will wait for next release.

Booting from CD, Slacko64 6.3.0.6 behaves even worse than Slacko64 6.3.0.0 on my newish HP laptop.
Neither can find my audio, wired network, or wireless network card, nor graphics drivers for the onboard Intel and Nvidia chips.
6.3.0, told to boot to an intermediate resolution, boots to the highest res.
6.3.0.6 doesn't even get that far; no x, lockups, kernel panics, all sorts of entertainment.
In both cases, the file "fdrv_slacko_6.0.8.1.sfs" is not present on the CD.
How do I get the driver file?

Hi I running Slacko 6.3.0 , LoL i'm a couple releases behind
Anyways,Using Firefox, I was trying to watch some CTV news from Canada and it said to get the latest version of Adobe flash, well I had the latest version and that wasn't good enough, So I looked into pepflash and compiled libfreshwrapper-flashplayer and tossed in libpepflashplayer.so from Chrome, So now newer play media works, Youtube works, So far so good, Oh ya I had to configure it a bit and compile libvdpau and made a pet package, once you install it you have to restart FireFox to get it to work, Oh and probably delete flashplayer first before installing it.
The nice thing is that its only a 4.6MB pet
Anyways have fun with it.

Slacko 32bit 6.3.0.6 UEFI
Machine: Dell D620 512 meg of ram
Running well. Wireless connected straight away. Used 6.3.0 on the same machine and it was a lot slower and less stable.
Trackpad working normally, (normally have to tweak it in older versions as it is sluggish) as are sound and video, Thanks MIcko a new toy.

I added apps with PPM + a few others.
It's working well so far.
Thanks
Here's a small pet of gtktetris, it'll create an icon in the Fun section of the Puppy menu, not the proper icon but it works just the same.

The xorg-server version in slackware 14.1 is 1.14.3... the last updates are in 1.14.7. this has to be fixed, there is a slackbuild for xorg-server, i guess 1.14.7 can be compiled with it.
In august 2014 there were people already asking for an update. i find it quite sad that after two years the situation is the same. The fix i'm looking for is probably in 1.14.7
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... 175513059/
This is the slackbuild:
http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ ... rg-server/
This is xorg-server 1.14.7
https://www.x.org/releases/individual/x ... .7.tar.bz2
that file should go to src/sources in the slackbuild (i guess), remove the previous version first.
