Gave it a try on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10.

Problems:
1) My external monitor (VGA 1600x1200) is not recognized.
xrandr lists only one (netbook) monitor and the ext. monitor mirrors the netbook screen in its native 1026x600 resolution. Tried to change resolution to 1600x1200, but this would merely zoom the 1026x600 display to fill the ext. monitor and results in huge texts and icons but not in a change of resolution.

2) Upon the "fake" resolution change the USB keyboard and mouse attached to the netbook stopped working. X-Slacko could only be operated by the netbook's own keyboard and touchpad. Unless this is fixed the distro is unusable for me.

Hi mistfire! Thank you so much for your concern! And please accept my apologies for not replying soon :oops:

Back then I was quite in a hurry so I had to find a solution no matter what. I couldn't so I had to try something else and in the middle of all that mess I forgot my consult. My bad :cry:

Thanks again! :D

Try to change kernel and zdrv modules. Using kernel file and zdrv file of other puppies. Just rename the zdrv file to zdrv_xslacko_4.4.sfs

I have noticed that the CAPS LOCK and BLOC NUM keyboard leds don't turn on when the keys are pressed.

This happens in both laptop keyboards and desktop keyboards.

Though it's a minor bug I find it quite annoying. Is it possible to have the usual behaviour

CAPS LOCK pressed --> Caps lock LED turns on/off ?
BLOC NUM pressed --> Bloc Num LED turns on/off ?

Thank you!

Hi Mistfire - i am enjoying this puplet and am remastering a version with some enhancements that will suit my machines and I was wondering if you know where I can find a config file that specifies what "quick launch" icons are in the tray / panel at the bottom please.

At the moment I see a midori icon and also a terminal icon - but I would also like to add a "home" icon just like the one on the desktop, a leafpad icon, and also an icon that I will use for changing screen brightness.

I have worked out how to use the panel configuration utility in a running system to set these icons up, but I would prefer to update a config file manually so that I can remaster it permanently into my new base sfs.

I tried grafting in the /root/.config/xfce4/panel directory that I saved from the running system (after using the utility to reconfigure the panel and launchers) but the remastered system appeared to ignore the new files.

I am thinking maybe I need to look in the xdg area - although I thought that only applied to xfce 4.2 and later?

Do you have any tips please?

cheers!

@greengeek

The xfce-panel settings located at
"/root/.config/xfce4/panel" and "/root/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml"

Also try to build the custom X-Slacko Slim using the build kit that I provided (Requires pristine X-Slacko 4.4 iso file).

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wNT3a ... ipSFR4PVGH

Modify the config files at the patches folder then run the setup.sh script.
