Well, Puppy reckons the K6 II is i586 (see the HardInfo report for Zhaan in my sig) so who am I to argue? Another clue is that pets specifically compiled for i686 bomb out with an Illegal Instruction error on that machine.Sage wrote:There's been an argument raging on DWW about the K6-II/III not being an i586.

remasterpup2 doesn't work. I have fixed it. Tested in Slacko but should work in Wary as well.
AMD K6-3D is i586.

Thank you rodin.s
Any way you can think of to integrate your Russian keyboard fix to xorgwizard/countrywizard?
And yes, I have always understood that K6 is i586.
Some things in Slacko are compiled i686 to take advantage of the new features, ffmpeg is the main one.

hi all
cant get my laptop to boot slacko, I get as far as testing the driver clicking on ok and the machine freezes with a black screen, have tried probe as well as vesa (which works in the lucid pups) but still get the same problem.
how would I find which graphics the machine is using so that I could try and get the right driver
cheers

Ok, saw your post about the new lappy, raffy reported to me it needs the latest AMD-radeon drivers, I'll get on to it

I was under the impression that the Vesa video driver would work with any video card. So far that has held true for me.Stripe wrote:hi all

It uses the basic video capability built into the video card.
The most common problem with Vesa driver is trying to use a resolution setting that the driver can not handle.
It only works with basic resolution settings.
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, etc....
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Maybe most but certainly not all. Just put a new mobo,with onboard Nvidia graphics,on my old AMD dual-core box about a month ago and Vesa mostly just refuses to start X or if it starts X it'll freeze the computer solid before I can get a Nvidia driver installed.bigpup wrote:I was under the impression that the Vesa video driver would work with any video card.

Works fine with the "nouveau" driver ootb so I've been running FatDog.
Could it be that these companies have not given out code that works good with linux so the kernel devs have to work out by guess instead of having first hand knowlege? It is sad.chip: amd dual core c-50
graphics: amd radeon hd 6250
I wish very many was using linux and that each of us could pay for to set these codes free so all linux would work good on any hardware.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Russian keyboard fix
I usually put it into my langpack-pets. The script is executed in pinstall.sh and proper layout is set automatically and a person doesn't need to do manual setup with wizard. I also put a link to it in /root/Startup so if xorgwizard was executed and xorg.conf regenerated then proper layout is set automatically. I have changed the script a little so it could except language as a parameter but I don't know if it could be useful in other languages. If it's only for Russian then it's easy: locale detect in script in /root/Startup:01micko wrote:Any way you can think of to integrate your Russian keyboard fix to xorgwizard/countrywizard?
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# Automatic xkblayout setup for Russian.
locale | grep -q ru
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
#fbxkb & #could be used as indicator.
/usr/local/bin/xkblng ru

I am in
I got in by using xvesa instead of xorg with the vesa driver (even though that wouldnt work yesterday?? )
will play streamed video (flash) fullscreen at 480p no problem (starts to split/stutter at higher resolutions)
got the sound working by using playdayz's sound card wizard (had to choose the analog option), but it only has the master channel in alsamixer and the volume control in the taskbar does not work, so I am having to adjust the volume using alsamixer and the keyboard sound control does not work either. (it did with windoze 7 before I binned it)
is there a config file that could be edited to link the taskbar volume control to the master channel?
thanks for all the help
