Ok, so nouveau is still an issue It's the same series as fluppy kernel James and I know you had issues with nouveau in that. I guess we finally dump nouveau?

Kernel source perms are fixed! Thanks Billtoo.

scOttman.. shino's otf loader does work pfix=ram but the sfs downloader in slickpet doesn't support that feature, and I won't likely introduce it. Thanks for the pplog issue report. Strange, as that is most often caused by copying woof in rox which I am aware of and don't do

I'll try it on the 8400GS box a little later and report back too.

I just booted into pemasu's latest Snow Puppy 018 (2.6.35.7) and as I suspected using "nv". Too darn many installs, I forget sometimes...

[Billtoo]

I downloaded and installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.19.run
proprietary driver.
This time Report-Video GLX gives more info, there is an error where it
says vesa though.
Nexuiz,Sauerbraten, and Openarena all work perfectly so definately
have hardware acceleration.
I think this driver just came out recently.
This is Slack Pup gaming edition

When I open the terminal the 1st two lines show a syntax error, I
think this started after I installed kdegames but I'm not sure about
that.

Delete those *.csh files and all will be ok.. it is part of qt, needed by kde..

The nvidia pets are chopped down for size. What I should do is package up the remainder and offer as 'nvidia supplement' or something

Frugal installations of spup-121.01 are working great on both my hd and a usb installation.

As I indicated before, my computer will not boot from usb, however, it does boot properly using grub on the hd. My menu.lst code is:

hi all...FYI....just tried spup (stable kernel iso)...on my thinkpad t43...it booted to desktop no worries.... all seems good...however... tried to install my tp-link tl-wn422g usb wireless with ndiswrapper as per usual in puppy... but got a dialogue box stating ndiswrapper module not loading..this wireless stick works ootb with ubuntu.... but never has with puppy....(native support would be great)...as always needed ndiswrapper ......but this failed to load with spup

[goolwa_pup]

FYI

[01micko]

Sorry about that goolwa_pup.

I forgot to compile ndiswrapper for k2.6.35

Thanks for letting me know.

ok, only took a jiffy to compile, please let me know if it works

[Jim1911]

Frugal installation of 121.02 with kernel 2.6.35
works fine, I'm posting from it now using Firefox 5.0b2. It does not have the problem mounting ntfs partitions r/w that I reported earlier.

Cheers,
Jim

[01micko]

Hi Jim

I am actually compiling that Firefox right now, it's my next post, provided it compiles!

Intriguing that ntfs problem.. I must have missed it but I had the kernel installed for a week, and was sure I wrote to ntfs, though when I found the other showstoppers I abandoned development.. I posted it mainly because I wasn't going to post the 2.6.35 version until Saturday, but it came together well as I was uploading 2.6.37.6 version so I posted both.

I'm thinking to stick with 2.6.35 (actually 2.6.35.13 using Iguleders patch so it is a later version than fluppy)

Cheers

[goolwa_pup]

thanks micko...very quick response!!! downloaded and installed your ndiswrapper pet .....all good...online now..writing this in spup......any chance of native support in spup for my tp-link usb wireless stick model TL-WN422G ?....
