Carolina: Vanguard Edition Release 2 December 2014
intel 4000 HD graphics
i915.modeset=0 as a kernel parameter does get vlina running on the Bay Trail box with the correct.. and visible resolution, albeit with the vesa driver, software rasterizing and a glacial 25 FPS glxgears (glxgears on the same box with the intel driver etc in LxPupTahr is 2915 FPS). This should make troubleshooting a bit easier now.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
It appears you are using a skype package other than the Carolina one, which has a different version of QT included.Moat wrote: fix for Skype is spitting something out about QT incompatibility -
Code: Select all
# skype Fatal: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40800) with this library (version 0x40802) /usr/bin/skype: line 6: 26375 Aborted /usr/share/skype/skype #
There is no need to install skype as vlina-1.3 has skype included and only the changes I mentioned need to be done,
even though it works without the change it's just to remove unneeded elements.

Master PDF Editor from the menu.
Thank you , Master PDF Editor, fix in, and running.
Had to use Vesa to make video card run, but you know that.
Strange happenings when using a usb stick, removing it then putting it back to same usb port after transferring data to a different computer. Would not recognize the reinsertion, and yes I had ejected the stick before removal.
Needs more testing from others to verify.
Thanks again for a very nice looking and fast Puppy. NO problem on size!
PDF edit is an interesting program. Bringing modified saved file to a different Firefox gave some strange results. Either my learning curve or?

So looks like we have Vesa going, but optimally we want the actual Intel driver going from Marv's dismal comparison.

Image list problem as reported by Terry H on the Carolina thread.
that's strange, seems to be a miss match of image files or something Phew.. easy peasy.
Yeah, weird, fixed if you delete /root/.config/xfce4/desktop/backdrop.list then the list works and you can create a new list,Terry H wrote:Problem when attempting to set Desktop Wallpaper to 'Image List'.
I'm not sure what is supposed to happen with this option. The Radio Button is only highlighted without the button actually being selected. The desktop seems to freeze for 30 seconds or so, followed by choppy cursor movement. Eventually the window closes and correct cursor function returns.
I just noticed this using Carolina Vanguard, so checked on Carolina 1.3 and the same issue occurred. I am using Dell D620 laptop Core Duo 2.16 GHz, with Intel graphics.
The 'None' option works correctly.

As long as we're drowning you
From my fiddling with X-slacko, where I had matched kernels to work with, I believe for full support of the newer bridges and intel HD videos both the newest of the above intel drivers , Mesa, and a matched set of Xorg stuff is probably required. Ugh.
As long as we're drowning you
Code: Select all
Scribbled notes Bay Trail mobo summary (has intel HD 4000 video, j1900 processor)
Carolina 1.2 with 3.14.20, 3.15.4, 3.17.x, and vlina
Xorg version: 1.11.0
Intel driver version: 2.15.0 (compiled for 1.11.0)
Mesa version: 7.10.3
Maximum driver (i915.modeset=0): 'vesa'
glxgears (vblank_mode=0): 25 FPS
X-slacko 2.3 non-PAE with 3.14.20 kernel
Xorg version: 1.12.4
Intel driver version: 2.19.0 (compiled for 1.12.4)
Mesa version: 8.04
maximum driver (set in xorg.conf): 'modesetting'
glxgears (vblank_mode=0) 412 FPS
LxPupTahr 14.10.1 non-PAE with std 3.14.20 kernel
Xorg version: 1.15.1
Intel driver version: 2.99.910 (compiled for 1.15.1)
Mesa version: 10.1.3
maximum driver: 'intel'
glxgears (vblank_mode=0) 2915 FPS
For comparison, on the 1.6 GHz Pentium M 855GM laptop, vlina uses the 'intel' driver and produces a respectable 590 FPS in glxgears.

Hi Geoffrey -Geoffrey wrote:It appears you are using a skype package other than the Carolina one, which has a different version of QT included.
As I never installed Skype (no need/interest/use), I'll hazard a guess that this might actually be a result of my (imprudent) re-use of my old savefile (created originally on 1.2).
Suppose I'd better keep quiet until I delete this old savefile and re-build from scratch!

I'm still not utterly convinced a newer Xorg is needed, but I guess I don't mind reopening that can of worms.Marv wrote:I believe for full support of the newer bridges and intel HD videos both the newest of the above intel drivers , Mesa, and a matched set of Xorg stuff is probably required. Ugh.
If you don't mind testing an utterly buggy Xorg, I suppose I could even throw a link up for you. The main issue I have with it is actually not graphically related but rather the input drivers don't seem right. They work, but they should really be using the new drivers (evdev) not the old drivers (kbd and mouse). Hmm. I might try nicking the Tahr or another modern Puppy's XorgWizard and see if they will allow evdev. Hmm.

Can't be much buggier than the one I cobbled together for X-slacko 2.3 and the Bay trail. I am pretty sure I did use the wizard from Tahr. It did load and boot to X but the graphics performance was poorer than the stock X-slacko running with the modesetting driver and I veered off course. Never checked the mouse driver etc.battleshooter wrote:

Edit: vlina just flies on the 1.6GHz Pentium M laptop. I've been using it steadily and it is as quick and light as it gets. A little more panel fiddling and CPU use at idle is down to 2%. Standard governor setup with ondemand/80% and no fan talk at all.

Just need to test it before upload, I've remade the package so many times I can't remember if the last was a working build or not!

Tahr's Xorgwizard didn't appear to make a difference in regards to setting the correct input drivers. Must be something else then.
Here's the Xorg pet.

Just to add to the display woes.......
On the box with an old Nvidia GT210 card,boots to an incorrect 1600x1200 resolution using "vesa". Any attempt to use Xorgwizard,using "vesa" or the desired "nouveau", results in X refusing to start.
Previous version with k-3.17.0 works fine.
Downloading the above pet to see if it makes any difference.

intel ironlake, downloaded the and installed the 2 pets then shutdown.
Plugged the drive into the ivybridge pc and it started to boot, just at
the point where it goes to the desktop the pc locked up, did a hard
reset.
Booted a second time with "puppy pfix=nox", at the prompt ran xorgwizard
and chose the intel driver, did xwin to get to the desktop, the pc
locked up again.
I'm pretty sure the larger pet had installed okay, I waited long
enough I think, so no luck with the new pets here.
EDIT: I just noticed there was the 3rd pet to install, pixman..., I downloaded that and couldn,t install it with "puppy pfix=nox" petget and booting the flash drive on the ironlake pc locks it up too.
Damn
