Some things to play and have fun....

Composite editor which seems to be quite clear. Yeah...I know there is already one composite editor inbuild already.
It installs under System.

Couple of themes to test...

Opening paragraph, you wrote:Saluki is a woof-build based on Racy 5.2 with Xfce.
RACY is a PAE PUP that will run on any 32bit PC up to 64GB
Little ways down, you wrote:The kernel is 3.2.8 i686 SMP PREEMPT built by Pemasu.
To my knowledge @Pemasu's kernels are not PAE. I believe he may build those again in the future, but for now, I have not seen one recently.

I think you may have started with the PAE version from Barry's RACY in the first SALUKI.

Correct me if I am wrong in my observation

Looks nice, the Composite editor works well, though the themes in the window manager theme don't work, the xfwm4 directories have only broken links in them , I don't know enough about themes to fix that.

you are not a coder
Ha! Ha! Ha!

This joker can neither read nor research. I know my limitations, but, evidently, he does not.

Oh, can't write a decent line of english(sic) without resorting to txt spk, either. Rather proves my oft repeated observations about transAtlantic education....

Back to the plot: still experiencing display issues with Saluki, even on most modern kit.

Flash,

Sage does not begin to understand his own limitations. Everything is above his paygrade which means, without nepotism, he has no paygrade. He is worse than useless. He is a liability.

However, it is his persistent and gratuitous anti-American insults which, in my view, might single him out for the award of a red card.

déjà-lu.
Even déjà-vu?!
Sadly it's not a new issue if you take a look back over recent years. Notwithstanding, developers have always been aware of the constraints in the video department for such a compact offering.

Whenever I go near anything based on Racy, or Racy itself, I always replace /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, local.conf, fonts.dtd with those from Slacko. It turns this:

into this:

Fixes some font issues with Opera and a whole bunch of problems with various spreadsheets from various sources I have to use.

This font fix look good to my tired eyes. Is there a .gz or .pet fix available? KJ

Here you go, give it a try. Please back up your save file first, just in case :)

Thank you Jemima and all for a very functional and attractive OS. Here I speak of Saluki 013.

I tried 014 but it fell over a couple of times. The principal issue I had with 014 was being unable to write to an NTFS partition from a Ext4 format save file. Ext 3 enables this with no issues. I haven't had the time to verify if this glich exists in 013. Both 013 and 014 are on Ext4 formatted partition.

I'm using an external DAC with this system. This setup managed to break the Alsa settings in 014. So far no problems in 013.

Cheers,

Oliverjames

Re-built pet that installs to /usr
Python 3.1.4

Regarding Scratch:
I've just booted into Saluki14 with pfix=ram.

It might be okay to ignore the libpulse message - I changed the plugins entry to ALSA in the shell-script.

I've remade the pet with the original name and it now uninstalls correctly.

It does seem to be working (cat meows when asked to!)

I'll try to get the libv4 thing working as soon as I can :D
Thanks. I'll check this out when I get back home tomorrow.

Thanks Geoffry. Natch I tried that, but it crashes the desktop to try adding another panel. Add the second panel, all goes well. Try to move it, and desktop crashes. Re-boot without moving panel, and new panel does not survive re-boot. Tested on two different machines.
