Thanks dry falls, I will search the net.

I have used Fatdog's Screencaster app to record screen in avi.
Then used ffmpeg to convert that avi to .gif.

So I thought why not do it directly.

No worries, Dry Falls, thanks.

Am unable to start X on either of my computers. Have tried every driver in xorgwizard

[stemsee]

Then it wasn't meant to be, Gordie, it wasn't meant to be! God is punishing you for something you did in a past life!!!


Only kidding.

What is your hardware?

I am thinking maybe try a different kernel and modules with more firmware. Let me see what I cn come up with.

[Gordie]

This is my laptop. Will post my netbook later today

[Gordie]

My little Puppy Linux netbook: I installed lshw from my collection of Slackbuilds I have compiled for my other computer so the output would be comparable.

[stemsee]

Well Gordie,

I put the iso together on intel cpu core i7 and tested on i5 and i3. Can you test your iso download in qemu on your slacko install? Just to make sure it isn't corrupt, as I see nothing that should prevent it from running normally!

[stemsee]

For anyone testing this alpha release out, you may have noticed a few things.

1) The panels were configured using % instead of px or pixels. As a result of this oversight some icons will be hidden if your screen resolution is less than 1920x1080 ... my laptop res.

2) FatDog savefile creation tool popsup at shutdown, it can be used to create a savefile, which must be named 'FatHouse64save' as prefix after save any additional naming may be added. The fatdog savefile creation tool does not place the savefile into the Frugal install directory this must be done manually for the jl64 initrd to find it and list it at boot time. Using SFS-Unattended-Remaster lets you specify the path for savefile creation exactly.

3) When setting the locale to Chinese some .desktop files do not show any chinese or portuguese comments. I have received updated .desktop filles courtesy of icake, which will be included in the beta.

4) It is my habit to include the devx in the system sfs, but i will be removed for the beta, in order to reduce save. Qemu will not work without the devx.sfs loaded.

5) The desktop, theme, rox font sizes will be reset for the more common place 1366x768 screen resolution. Which means hi-res screens will have tiny icons/letter sizes.

6) WPS and Libreoffice may have been set to Chinese language by default. Anyway I hope to add a one-click solution to change system locale and WPS/Libreoffice language switch: most apps and google-chrome already pick it up.

7) My own scripts need translations into Portuguese and Chinese.

cheers
