[Brown Mouse]

[DaveS]

I guess one of the problems with the grey tray icons is non match by third party ones.

Brown Mouse, next version (delayed a few days) will have at least nvidia-280, including glxgears

Dave.. SM-2.3b3 is 42 minutes through compiling at this minute.. (any second now ).. will upload when done.
I guess when theming tray icons it's great at first... (gnome, kde, win7 all have that issue! Apple don't.. but then what can you do with a mac apart from eat it?)

EDIT: Seamonkey-2.3 Beta 3 uploaded [17M]

[DaveS]

Mick.. put your compile of 2.3 into the iso, no problems. No bugs so far. Why do we have the zdrv? is it to make re-builds easier during the development phase?

The right most ipinfo indicates you have a connection at 1Mbps.
This seems to indicate a problem between your wifi card and the router/modem.

As for the left most ipinfo I got that also at times.
Don't know why I got it.

Does your other PC with Wifi connects correctly to the same router/modem?

Hi guys

I am going to download kirk's RC of FatDog-64-520 and see what he has done with Frisbee. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to network stuff, although I'd love to write an utility that works from the prompt so wifi can be connected outside of X. Porteus Linux has a pretty cool one which I may steal some ideas from.

As for Brookdale... I plugged in my widescreen LCD to my brookdale machine and this time it worked! No special voodoo. Bummer really.. [mine is rev 1]

Charlie, MinHundHettePerro (cum, Chien, or Koira maybe ).. can you see the dialog boxes when they pop up after boot? That is the first run wizard by shinobar. [It certainly seems as though JWM is part of the problem here, re cowboy]. If so, I may put in an extra gui detecting Brookdale and then offer to run a modded xorgwizard with Charlie's hacks. If not, I'll have to intercept Brookdales before xorgwizard is run and write a dialog that implements the modifications from the prompt before X starts at all.

fatdog64 and pemasu's snow pup and polar pups have built in wl.ko drivers and frisbee all working flawlessly with my hp broadcom wl.ko driver.

Unfortunately, I have no code writing skills but have read quite abit here on frisbee with wl.ko driver. some have added short 4 or 5 lines of code to correct the possible conflict between frisbee and sns. the conflict only occurs from what I've read when use frisbee and sns or connection wizard. I looked about for that code snipit but couldn't find it.

The xorgwizard dialog boxes,as well as the shutdown dialog boxes, were much smaller than normal but still readable.
No problem on a CRT monitor.I'll hook up the LCD in a few.

Back hooked up to a widescreen 1440x900 LCD monitor. No problems with display.

Appears to be working fine on this box...no complaints.

[01micko]

Thanks James.

Your chipset is rev 01 like mine so I'll filter them out as they appear to be unaffected by the Brookdale bug

EDIT... bugger! I just checked.. Charlie has rev 01 too, MHHP has rev 03.. IIRC cowboys is rev 02.. oh well we play along then ...

EDIT2: Ok, Charlie.. I have downloaded the updated intel driver you recommend.

I will put in a recommendation in my little "Brookdale" wizard to download mesa from slickpet driver tab, I will update it and package it up including glew. We already have the same version of libdrm included.
