Hi Craig, sounds great. should just be a simple matter of adding the right packages for compiz, then editing /root/.xinitrc and the cfwizard script. We'll look at it next week Currently I'm using JWM as an alternative manager if compiz can't work, though it's far from perfect. Openbox might be a better solution. I'll have a look at your puplet, should work on the eeepc. Cheers.

I would just like to thank you for this remix.
I look forward to version 3 with all the fixes and that nice desktop you posted and that nice OSX looking taskbar.
How about a Acer Aspire One Dev Remix, now that would rock !!
Anyway feel free to give me a shout on IRC , irc.freenode.net on the following channels #puppylinux #jlime #kukilinux 6pm GMT onwards

Ok here is he latest remaster! Based on MU's .27 kernel remaster.
Openbox Cairo-Dock and other stuff.

Function keys work with osd

thanks to JB4x4 shutdown on powerbutton, suspend on lid close

menu buton on cairo dock and other tweaks.

I am still unable to use xrandr to switch monitor output and use a different resolution. If anyone gets this working please let me know how.

Good work!!
I installed this om my AA1,and it looks really good

Still no wireless,but I think I do something wrong when i try to connect

Different from the original Puppy...but its always funny to test something new.

[iscraigh]

wireless definitely works out of the box, wep as well. Do not install any of the atheros wireless pets.

Run the connect wizard icon on the desktop/choose the wireless connection/scan/select use this profile/add your wep settings/choose ok/choose use dhcp, when it gets an ip select done and yes to saving settings.

Thanks - it sure looks very good.
But I'm sorry WEP still doesnt work for me,
neither with the wizard nor manually in a terminal
wlan0 eth1 key open 1234
gives the output "invalid argument 1234"
If I do anything wrong, is it possible to provide a screen shot of how the wlan configuration is done?

My wireless also does not work. I know how to set it up but it does not see any connection, there is one there because I am typing this on my other wireless computer running puppy. I dont have wep turned on so hat is not it, I wonder if there is a older and newer hardware acer aspire ones. I just got mine one week ago. The acer puppy be for this one connected to the internet fine. I noticed that the boot up screen says disableing IRQ 11 as it does with the stock puppy 4.1.1 and up, but it did not see this with the first acer puppy.

Thanks for the hard work you have put in to this it is comming along very quickly.

Hmm

I will try the remaster on my other virgin aspire one and verify wireless.
Does anyone have wireless working or is it just me?
Have you tried moving the wireless on off switch (just once) leave it 30 seconds then try, if it still fails reboot and try to scan again.
Lets put the no wireless in 4 categories

1: scan sees no access points
2: sees access points will not connect
3: connects gets no ip address after using dhcp
4: won't connect using wep

WPA may or may not work have not tested at all.

Of note I have removed nothing so this will run on any pc puppy runs on, also if you prefer JWM it is still there.

Sorry I temporarily pulled the link I messed up the remaster and I noticed too many of my customizations are missing, what can I say poor quality control.

I will fix it up shortly, if you have downloaded it please re download when I re announce I promise it will be a little better.

Craig

[iscraigh]

I have figured out why wireless works for me and not some of you. When I test I just copy over the sfs file, the vmlinuz and the initrd files to my usb stick and test. I forgot about a small modification I made to my syslinux.conf/extlinux.conf/grub.conf file. In the boot line add "pci=noacpi"
(No quotes)
I will remaster again adding this as well as getting everything else I see working.
