That occurs if you have nv set and then use the menu, setup, quick set up first-run settings menu option and check the Video Wizard option and then OKrufwoof wrote: Tried updating graphics to NVidia, mouse locked up
Previously (earlier versions) I could download nvidia code/drivers, when I check now using Video Upgrade Wizard it says nothing exists for my card/kernel.
The nv stuff that comes with 5.7 however doesn't appear to support sound as there's no sound despite having swapped around Multi-Sound cards, set volumes up (and using Alsa settings) etc.
As to the rest, looking great. I like the new dialogs
I've :
added support for Belkin F5D6050 wireless adapter (PET)
installed flashplayer which works ok (except no sound)
removed cdrdao
removed inchscape (draw)
removed abiword (unstable)
removed gnumeric (old)
removed epdfview (Ctrl-F doesn't work as required)
changed the taskbar number of desktops to 2
added PupSaveHotBackup (PET)
added OpenOffice (SFS) - as replacements for desktop icons abiword, gnumeric and draw
added evince (PET) and set that as the default program for PDF files (that does support Ctrl-F ok and is generally better IMO)
Changed HTOP colours to mono
Activated firewall
Activated adblock
Installed NoScript into firefox
Set firefox download directory to a downloads directory beneath the frugal savefile directory (outside of savefile space)
Cleared firefox cache and set cache size = 0 (so doesn't fill up savefile space)
Set firefox auto updates off
504MB savefile, 394MB free space.
JMHO but I believe that the above changes could be a big crowd puller for all those currently using Windows XP (a very big audience) in view of MS pulling support for XP - and it would be nice to have such changes already installed/available via a single ISO download. As is, abiword, gnumeric and epdfview are just too old.
