Re: quirky 1.0 occasional error message on bootup

----------------- The libxcb-1.0 pet mentioned on previous page will install to /usr/lib, thus they will have precedence over the libxcb*'s already in /usr/X11R7/lib. That works, but it may be overkill. This pet will provide only the missing lib for a temporary fix. It installs to /usr/X11R7/lib: (...

Compaq CQ10 netbook I wanted to report a couple things working now in 018 that didn't in previous versions. 018 detects my Broadcom wireless card. It was not recognized in 013, but it had been in previous versions. My sound now works "out of the box". Previously I had to open Retrovol and ...

Please don't - we don't need the negative publicity that PCLinuxOS got for doing this about a year ago. Sorry, I didn't realize that happened in the past. Puppy does not need that. My suggestion was really based on the fact that I really don't think the distrowatch numbers at all reflect the true u...

[Solved] A [BAD] way to push up distrowatch numbers

Here is an easy way to promote Puppylinux. I noticed a number of people in the forums put a lot of emphasis on the Distrowatch.com list to gauge the popularity of Puppy.

Tom4jean, it's little stuff like that speaker thing that makes programming for netbooks so difficult. I'll keep plugging away. I need to find some people that can help me support it,... That was why I reported the speaker thing, I figured it was something unique to this netbook. I will be happy to ...

Sorry, I recently updated the description and that got removed. I just fixed it. I plan to make a general netbook kernel once the major issues on the EeePc are sorted out.

I get a message to reboot and change the bios, which I am not going to do because I also run Quirky 008 and it does de...

@tubby Eureka! I did not know about that sound control panel when you right click. The check mark next to "speaker" volume control was not ticked and once I ticked it it works! I guess with this particular hardware the additional control for "speaker" needs to be unmuted. The mas...
