Hi pemasu, I want to thank you for this .pet .. and as someone who hasn't yet tackled kernel modules/compiling, I'd be interested in what can be done to get all my function buttons working on this Dell D600 laptop (no hurry though, as I should really do some exhaustive Duckduckgo.com-ing for what's out there before hitting up humans in a forum..)pemasu wrote:
My laptop-001.pet works fine with this laptop and enables laptop buttons ok. Also I have acpi_call.ko for some kernels to shutdown ATI graphics with test_off.sh script placed on /root/Startup. If somebody needs those addons with this laptop, I can give spesific info.
I forget which derivative of puppy it was, but when someone released their .iso and I dl'd for a spin, I was rather taken aback at how cumbersome Frisbee seemed-- immediately going off to turn on my wifi and try hooking up a network without notifying/asking-- worst thing being that the whole system would basically hang in the meantime, so that I couldn't even fire up a terminal and do "kill -9 `pidof frisbee`" or such. I'm always on a laptop, and such blasting out of my MAC address in potentially hostile territory is a dealbreaker for me. So I recall manually plowing through to strip out everything frisbee.. I'm thinking it was Lighthouse Pup, actually.. so imagine my dismay upon finding that this otherwise-nifty laptop001.pet had this cruddy (IMO) frisbee inside.
It has enabled me to suspend my Dell D600, which I hadn't been able to do in Puppy previously (I had even formatted a partition and installed Mandriva to have something full-featured, which was a cool distro, until I broke it.. long story..) and with battery life at a premium, it's spendid I must say. So I've stripped all the Frisbee out of this .pet for my own use-- 1st thing I install on every new Pup-- and present it here in case it is useful for someone. So small, seems it oughta ship inside the next major .iso (frisbee should NOT!) Barry's old net setup scripts work just fine still.
(Be nice, it's the first .pet I'm uploading-- surely it could use some touching up, so let me know. Thanks.)
The original laptop001.pet was I think 1st posted here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 993#484993
Plus, I just discovered http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 7&start=30 which mentions at least 2 others having put out acpid functionality .pets. (Thanks for the tip pemasu!) So perhaps this post can also serve to sew these related but disconnected threads together somewhat.. "more than 1 way to skin a cat"?
