As the others have posted, 214 X 15 is pretty solid and working well so I agree there is no big hurry for the next release.

However, if you release something....I'll test it..... Smile

I would love to get 214x working on my EeePC901. I had a big session yesterday but have had to give up. I do have 214x15 running nicely on an Acer Aspire 5100 so I think I know what I am doing:

Problems on the Eee are:

- Can't fix the screen resolution to 1024x600 with Xorg so everything looks stretched
-Tried to switch to Xvesa but when X restarted it went into a continuous loop of error type messages (before the desktop appears). Powering off and rebooting got me back to the continuous loop.

-I could have lived withe the screen resolution problem if I could have got WiFi working. Tried everything. No native rt2860sta module so used a pet (for the right kernel) someone posted earlier. Then I fixed the WPA problem by editing wag-profiles.sh. This then got over the WPA problem in the Networkwizard but scanning never found any networks.
- Also tried an Ndidwrapper approach with windows drivers but never got this to work.

Pity as I love 214x15 on my Acer (especially FF).

Thanks ttuuxxx in any case for all your efforts,

Rgds Mike

I'm not too sure on the eeepcxorg.pet I made up, I tried it and xorgwizard wouldn't work, grrrrr, I had to add in 3 locations.
If it doesn't work for you, I'll try something else.

Hey ttuuxxx, just to clarify, for the software archives, are these little pets and things like the eeepc tweaks going to end up in the final version or should I be setting them aside to post as well?

Thanks for this one BTW. My daughter currently has possession of my eeePC but it would be nice to load puppy on it at some point and keep it that way.

Hi Sully

If I was you I would wait until some sort of results/feedback comes back,
I really don't think that the xorg 1024x600 will work, but I have a feeling the driver should. lol
One of these days I think I might buy a eeepc. would make like a lot easier.
