(ref)@PG on p17.9

Haven't tried rc4 on the i686 yet, but it's been going on with Xorg for awhile now.

Not just Nvidea (twin ATIs on the i686 and the AGP hooked up to two crts does an odd Xorg thing - even though only one display is on) ..

Yep, anyone that has the maus ptr go 'off' the screen hopefully has figured out that xorg.conf line and why it needs commenting out (if they have two monitors plugged into the card and not really set up for Xorg and/or Xinerama and/or whatever it takes to do twin displays properly in Puppy). It's been happening all through the 4.20 series and even in Gray's 4.13 NOP with Xorg - I was just so amazed to have Xorg work on the i686 machine at all that I forgot to mention it perhaps ..

What I used for a temporary solution ('til one comments that line out) is simply to Alt+F1 to get a mainmenu, then dirkey to run up/down - voila, the pointer's back on your dirkey'd selection (it works in Jwm anyhow, sometimes I can't recall Ice-keys).

Thanks MHHP,
With the exception of the clock, RHS is now fixed!

I changed the clock to the yellow theme, but the half shadow is still there !

What's next to change ?

Thanks Tui

@Pizzasgood:

I commented the line in xorg.conf as you instructed and now xorg works for me in both 4.1.2 and RC4. WONDERFUL!!!!

I also checked out xorgwizard.mo That file does not seem to be in 4.1.2
so I just removed the " and tested it. That fixed the "DONE" screen. I then looked at the file and figured out I needed to adjust the line lengths of the text to fix the screen previous to that. I was able to make it a lot better although still not perfect.

Thanks so much for the xorg troubleshooting lesson and the fix.

@WhoDo

Here is the file with the edited xorgwizard.mo for testing.

Cool. To modify /usr/sbin/xorgwizard to do that automatically, I just needed to find the following chunk of code (at about line 400 in RC4):

Re: full-screen bug
I think HairyWill/Patriot nearly fixed it. The remaining problem is that the task bar remains visible with full-screen Flash videos.

Just downloaded Joe's nightly build. The Full screen bug IS fixed and the task bar problem is gone! Smile

Hey WhoDo I just read that Technosaus said 'I am uploading a test for default home page replacement for 4.2' about his Puppy Web Desktop. Thats not going to be the homepage is it? Come On, we don't need another heated debate again do we, really it a dam web application, not a browser homepage, actually it could be a quick launch on the taskbar next puppy forum and puppy.ca. But theres no way that everytime you open a browser you need to look at that by default, Google is what I use and most of planet uses also. a
link on the Personal Toolbar is all we need. Or better yet what would be even way better just have a new desktop icon and have it open with /usr/local/bin/gtkmoz thats a better browser for it due to you'll have more screen viewing.
Please don't make that a default homepage. Its useless to anyone who compiles. Or anyone who actually just wants to surf the net. Its more of application then a browser homepage. Its bad enough we had to put up with Puppy's old default homepage. What about people running live? They are forced to see that every time you boot up.

If you want I'll repackage it with gtmoz as backend, with menu links, I'll even go as far as to making a patch for seamonkey so it will be in the Quick launch personal toolbar. But please once again don't make it default homepage.
