Cairo dock can be a bit tempermental... at some point I'll look into replacing this version with the next release... sometimes you just need to restart it to get it working.

Sounds like you're onto it. Can you find the best sfs maker/editor so we can put it into Ripple? I'm unlikely to be able to focus on that for awhile.

Interesting. Firstly, lets try and get xorg working without compiz-fusion on your computer, as compiz-fusion won't run without it. I need to edit the script for Xvesa in xorgwizard... Compiz-fusion won't work with it! Currently Ripple is based on compiz-fusion, and doesn't function properly without it.
Use ctl+alt+bckspc to exit out of X. Type
Code: Select all
e3 /root/.xinitrc
Code: Select all
#LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &
#sleep 3
Code: Select all
xorgwizard
Type this next:
Code: Select all
xwin jwm
This is the first step, as I believe xorg is most likely working. Ripple uses compiz-fusion as the windows manager, so if it's not working 1 of two things could happen: Ripple starts with no windows manager, or Ripple won't start at all. This is more likely because Compiz-fusion won't start, than because of xorg bombing out.
Lanelester, Ripple will not currently work on your machine with compiz-fusion... simply because there are no drivers included in Ripple as of yet for Nvidia cards. wNOP, TigerPup, Ubuntu will all most likely work as they have support for Nvidia. It is coming for Ripple, but I haven't had the time to make another test iso with them in. You could look at installing them yourself, and seeing how you go. Use jwm as above, because it's currently functional. In a terminal, type:
Code: Select all
petch nvidia
Code: Select all
xorgwizard
Code: Select all
xwin ripple
Aarf, which eeepc are you running? Are you booting Ripple into Ram? Does Compiz Fusion wizard run after xorgwizard? It's possible that the 701 (test bed for Rippple) is configured differrently from later models, and the 900 series eeepc, so I might have to look into this. Your signature says you are using the eeepc 701, which is working flawlessly for me. How are you trying to boot Ripple? If you've installed it to a usb, how did you do it, and with what files? What is your config line in grub or extlinux.conf? More information please, and lets get this running! As a last resort we might have to see how to get the standard puppy running compiz-fusion on your eeepc, then port it to Ripple from there. Thanks for sticking wih this.
Cheers!
