Hello, I am a new user to Fatdog64-810.
And, I am a new user to ZOOM.

I've loaded up Fatdog64 to a flashdrive and installed ZOOM.
Can someone tell me where in the menu I can locate the app that turns on the machine's live camera. I'm assuming the machine's live cam must be turned on before I enter ZOOM?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.

Hi Sky, and welcome to Fatdog64!

the Zoom software itself takes care of audio and video configuration. You do not need to run an application to get multimedia started for Zoom. Indeed you must not because Zoom wants exclusive access to audio while it's running. So: close the SeaMonkey browser before you start the Zoom client.
To get to the Zoom audio/video setup click the cogwheel icon in the upper right corner of the zoom window to go to Settings. I posted a screenshot in the first thread linked below (Zoom for Fatdog64).

When you enter your Zoom meeting you will be asked if you want to join with audio and/or video enabled. You won't be in the meeting until you answer. While in a meeting, you can mute your mic or hide your cam by moving your mouse pointer to the bottom edge of the screen and clicking one of the fly-over buttons in the left corner. This description varies slightly depending on whether your Zoom meeting window is full-screen or not.

Please note:

For questions about Zoom there are several other threads in the forum that should help you get started. They all provide different bits of information, and are followed by different Zoom "experts" (we are all new to the Zoom game). The two main threads are:

* Zoom for Fatdog64
* Zoom on Puppy Linux


This support thread is about Fatdog64-720. For questions about Fatdog64-810 the new thread is where your posts will have a higher chance to be noticed and get an answer.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'll head to the proper thread and carry on.

Hi don570 and all,

I have good news. This week I was gifted with a lovely old Dell Inspiron N7010 - 6GB RAM with Webcam. The machine took BionicBeaver-64 with ZOOM-5 and presented no issues. FatDog 810 also takes ZOOM but I prefer to run in root.

All is good!

I'm envious!! I only have 4 GB

Hi don570,

Me too! I was delighted. The machine also has a DVD player, so, I can make live DVD/CD's again. The memory card reader helps too.

I feel so lucky.

Hello.

Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop

Fatdog64-810

Everything works great so far except

Can't find b43 firmware for broadcom wireless ?

Am I missing something obvious ?

Hi Ether.

Note that there's a later thread for Fatdog 810 here - better to post there nowadays.

Try opening Control Panel, System tab, double click the Manage Servers and Services icon, and there's a BC-wl item in that list that if you enable that to start at bootup and then reboot ... and see if that works for you.

Hi Ether, rufwoof is correct. Try the wl driver. This is also documented in Fatdog 810 Help (the blue question mark desktop icon). Start the help window and search for "broadcom", select "broadcom wireless", and you will read:

Fatdog Help wrote: Broadcom wireless
If your Broadcom wireless card does not work with the driver included with the Linux kernel, Fatdog64 includes the proprietary Broadcom ‘wl’ driver.
To enable this open the Control Panel and click on the System tab.
Then click on Manage Servers and Services, and then BC-wl.
Click Start to start using this driver now and Enable to use this driver at every boot.
After that you will want to right-click on the Wpa-gui icon in the tray and select Restart Connection.

That worked. Thank you!

Thanks. It works now. And I'll make a note to myself to check out that help window if I have another issue.
