Black background issue.

1. Applied it in quirky and the issue is solved (just did report this)
   
2. Applied it in Lucid002. Didn't solve the issue.

Sound but with no images for downloaded mp4 in gxine in both x16 and x24 colour.

black background fix works for me on lp002.

[aarf]

have only pwidgets2.2.5.pet and pixman-0.17.14-lupu.pet
x24 colour, yes they haven't got black backgrounds but....

edit: quirky010 with pixman-0.17.14-q.pet and pwidgets2.2.5 is exactly the same.

Just set up lupu-002

Seems well on the way even at this early stage.

The only significant problem on this video hardware (ATI Radeon 3450) was a slight flicker while clicking on web pages in the default Seamonkey browser. I loaded up the latest Seamonkey 2.0.3 and I don't seem to get any flicker now.

Gxine reports a missing codec library (lol a DLL) called wmvdmod.dll.
when playing streamed video.

I then installed MPlayer via the Puppy Package Manager. This allows streaming video to work (but no full screen) - but only if MPlayer is selected for playing the stream.

Had an unusually difficult job with installing my Brother DCP-7030 printer/scanner. Installing the drivers from the command line produced a complaint that no libc6 was installed (or wrong version)

Then downloaded brother-extra-printers and wrappers from packages.ubuntu.com (Lucid repo) as well as the version of libc6 from there. On re-installing the drivers I still got the complaint about libc6 - but this time CUPS seemed to work and chucked out a test page this time. CUPS then appears to be working.

Since Puppy always runs as root I had no problem installing the Brother scanning driver - no need to worry about limited users as is the case with Ubuntu and Debian etc.

BTW also had to install dpkg online from the Lucid repo in order to be able to install the Brother drivers from the command line. You need the line dpkg -i --force-all "name of driver" to install these.

Dell inspiron laptop Touchpad mouse:

try and describe this as best i can.

Normally in one go from one side to the other on the touch pad = moves the mouse from one side of the screen to the other.
Lupup takes several moves on the touchpad to get from one side of the screen to the other, its like the mouse range is only 1/4.

Hi Playdayz
Short info about used gcc version for Kernel compilation of Lucid Puppy 003:
The reported mismatch prohibts the installation of the Nvidia driver (see atached picture). Like the others: nv and nouveau don't work for me. Vesa is working (no acceleration and no vdpau).
Good luck for bugfixing
