I really like this release. The only issue I am having is getting tapping to work on my trackpad. Scrolling works, but I can't get tap to work. I am using the synaptic driver. I select tap, but it just want take. It worked fine in lighthouse pup. Thanks.

Figured it out. Had to go to wizard wizard and click the check box to allow tapping. Then restarted and it worked.

Well thought I had it figured out. I have to go into fisynclient after each reboot to set it back up. I am saving it, but it isn't sticking after a reboot. Anyone know how to correct?

It is an Aspire 5102. I got them to stick by manually editing the xorg.conf file.
Seems to be working fine now.

Gentlemen the problem is one I meant to correct for this rc and did not will fix before I release the final it has to do that Xfce does not use the start-up foulder and that is where the decman for fisyncliednt is started. Will be putting in the Xfce start up and that should fix the problem.

Hi Grumpy, great looking product. Just a quick question. I cannot seem to use Puppy Package Manager. I have several pets I keep on my flash drive. MyWolfe is having a problem with them. I cannot seem to install them. When I double click on them, they will not install. I tried to open them with Package Manager, but I cannot seem to open them that way either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob

I did a frugal installation of wolfe028 to a partition and tried to run it but failed to start the X window. When I tried to set my LCD display with xorgwizard, it still didn't work. Also tried 'probe', 'choose' and even 'vesa' mode, trying to get it work, but all failed.

I have installed Quirky/Lighthoush/Fluppy in the same partition (under different subdirectories) and everything seems okay when booting them using Grub2.

Anything I need to do to get wolfe028 running?

Start up the puppy that works and go to Menu system and Hardware info something and do pci and look for graphics? I guess Wolfe need to know what graphic card your motherboard think it use. some have it built in the mobo integrated and some have such separate.

Maybe it has to do with kernels. that is why they make Wary it has a kernel that works better with older computers and Fluppy works better with new small Netbooks 10" or such small ones.

Snow Puppy has tried to combine the best from many so try that one too.

But first get to know what your computer have. Mine have Intel 945 graphics chip set. Maybe yours are ATI?

Many thanks, nooby.

My graphic card is a very old one - ATI Radeon RV100. In fact I tried to load ATI when using xorgwizard to set up Xorg, but it didn't work.

I will try again because I really like the wolfe's puppy linux + xfce combination.

Hi songzi

Just to be sure did you put in the zw028341.sfs when you did the frugal install and how did you do the frugal install.

what are you computer specs.
