Jim,
numlock was my oversight, if you install it it will show up in Personalize Settings:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 2-i486.pet
As for nouveau, I may have to put in a cheat boot code like TaZOC has. I do have an nvidia but it works fine, I'll try my other nvidia which usually plays up with nouveau, and if it does I'll try to compile the latest source. Surely they (the devs) must be getting there, since nv is now unsupported.
Dave,
I have seen that odd behaviour, I thought it was jwm, but I see you are using openbox, maybe try that xcompmgr we had troubles with:
http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackw ... i486-2.txz
If you get flicker try commenting in
/etc/profile @line 92:
#export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1.
EDIT: Shoot! It
is jwm! Fooled me! maybe try the older jwm out of 5.3.1, if that's ok I'll report to Joe.
Indian,
I left out pupradio because zigbert now has radio functions in Pmusic, but I guess the telly part is not covered, back in, for now just install it:

peeBee,
Thanks for report on b43. I did have an idea to put it in /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG, still may do so if I can't find the real problem (maybe you can try that). I may PM rerwin, he is somewhat of a module expert.
EDIT: the same kernel log from 5.3.1.2 for comparison may be useful.
Billtoo,
Thanks for letting me know the kernel source works
James,
Good nouveau worked for you for a change
pemasu,
scanpci is deprecated. I should remove that code from netsetup.sh. I have had no issue with SNS and Network Wizard in 5.3.1.2

I have found 2 bugs. gmtk was broken so gnome-mplayer fails, install fixed version:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 5-i486.pet
If it fails install the DEV file too: (please let me know if you needed to do this)
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 5-i486.pet
Oversight: I left sfs_load at 1.2... sfs_load-1.3 fixes it:

Thanks for reports.. bit better than A1 eh?

My thoughts
On release i will bump the version to 5.3.3. This is way more than a bugfix release, even more than a 2 point release, but 2 points will do, version numbers, so long as they exist and are in correct order are of little importance.
Ffmpeg will
not be updated to keep compatibility with
mlt, a dependency of openshot-1.4. I may offer a 0.9x version in PPM.
Seamonkey will be updated, likely 2.7. I will experiment with jemimah's adrive concept (see saluki thread). Also will include a browser installer. Links will likley be the defaulthtmlviewer, it can handle cups!
I seriously dislike pupdialog. No offence Barry, but gtkdialog is already a wrapper. Pupdialog is seriously slow on my lappy. Pupdialog is a wrapper of a wrapper.
We also need a new splash prog for puppy since yaf-splashes demise (with good reason).. I am going to attempt to write one against gtk/gdk using svg images, since techno came up with a neat text2svg script. This will likely not happen soon enough!
If this kernel is ok I will compile a PAE version. All nvidia/ati drivers will be available eventually.
if you have any feature requests NOW is the time! Next will be beta and feature freeze.
