nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

I have recompiled the kernel and reuploaded kernel source sfs for lupe28.
Download lupe28 version and try again.

I tried your new kernel source and installed the proprietary nvidia
driver.

Good work

Billtoo. Wonderful news. It was the source then. I thought so, since I was able to compile nvidia.ko without problem.
Now we just would need to make a pet of nvidia. Unfortunately I havent found a way to compile it and install it to the dedicated folder. My lack of nvidia graphics cause the installer to fail.

ATI Catalyst 11.6 has dual intel/ATI graphics switcher which needs one lib more before it works. I have to play with it more before I update the full ATI package.

Hi pemasu,

I had the same good experience compiling the NVIDIA driver that Billtoo reported. Thanks for recompiling the kernel.

Regards,
Jim

Feff-1.7. Front end for Ffmpeg to convert file formats. For example m4a to ogg.

Simplistic but seems to work.

And it works !!! Glxgears seqfaults but there was quite a lot updated and the code is hacked.

installed stripped version pet and glxgears does show seqfaults

pemasu, so how tell it works other than the hardinfo data? video games?

Jim3630. I know that fglrx driver works when I have loaded it and for example lhp sys info shows that fglrx graphics driver is loaded. As I have written, my version is hacked because ATI Catalyst does not yet support officially 2.6.39.3 kernel. So....for me it works as graphics driver. I cant say anything more. I can even change driver from intel to fglrx but not back anymore. Well....my kernel does not have vgaswithcheroo enabled, it might affect also.

pmesu, just don't know what to expect from it? shows
X Server: Xorg Driver: (II) glx: vendor=FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc.
so it is there. maybe I could run xorg again and change to fglrx.

is fglrx better than glx?

Jim3630. Fglrx is the kernel module driver which is in that Ati Catalyst package. When you are in console state aka exited to the prompt, you need to run in console there:
aticonfig --initial. That command makes the needed changes to the xorg.conf. After that in xorgwizard you can change to use xorg flgrx driver. After that when you go back to the x by xwin, you should have both fglrx drivers loaded, kernel module and xorg driver.
You can check also by lsmod do you see fglrx loaded.

Above is little complicated, fglrx drivers are the essential stuff that ATI Catalyst produces. All the other are framework libraries, scripts and so on.

Pemasu, thanks for the instructions. may get in late and post tomorrow but will follow up.

Finally got around to doing a manual frugal install of Polarpup 003 on my main Athlon XP box...... everything good on initial boot and no real problems.

Hey pemasu:
Long time, no hear!
I hope you are OK.
Since you last left without any announcement, I got worried about you. I am sure the other regulars are feeling the same and we would like to hear that you are hopefully a OK and doing fine.
Please let us know.
Thanks!

Sure I am amongst other puppy users. I have participated with my minor skills to the Lucid 5.2.6 development. Tested Slacko development versions, Fatdotdog 520 versions, Drake 3.0 and many Lucid devel versions. I have purified right clicks open with linkages, learnt many ways which dont stop vdpau errors, etc....

Next I will wait Iguleders new squeeze build to test. I liked his squeeze experiments lot and also Insidious Puppy 002.

Right now I am preparing to leave to the Jyväskylä world championship cup Rally. I have to be there about 4.00 am. I will sell tickets so that our ski clup gets money. It is quite nicely paid job. About 10 of my friends participate also. Yes...a lot people pays to see cars driving fast.
I dont like it at all, but money is there and our skiers will need it next winter.

So I have still little time to use by posting this. Today after Rally I will probably sleep long.....

My other family participates to the famous horse racing happening. They work there to help my wifes sister. So the house is luckily quite empty when I come back.

There hasnt been any good new qt4 apps so far so I havent posted to this thread.

But....I am ok, but probably very tired after this night......

I have a new right click package for Lucid 525

I put in ffconvert by Shinobar but I added some

wording to help the user

Don570. That looks good. Thank you of your work.

I installed polarpup to a 4 gb flash drive and installed the devx +
kernel source + ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run.

pemasu, I made a vlc-1.1.11-i686.pet in wary 080 with your 2.6.38.4
kernel and it is working in polarpup so if you'd like me to pm you a
download link so you can try it out let me know.

Billtoo. it seems that ATI 11.7 has fixed the bug of missing big kernel lock. Great. I need to make ATI 11.7 pet when I have time.

And thank you of your vlc offer. Surely I am interested.
VLC and Umplayer are my favorites.

I remember seeing that PP 003 was tailored for Atom processors so I thought I'd try it. I like smallish computers with the external, inline power supplies and I put together a computer with the N270. Everything works as advertised and I am very satisfied but here is a question. I note that lots of neat stuff was added but VM Box was removed. Does this mean something is wrong here? I like to use VM with obscure Linux flavors (for fun and experimentation) (Puppy being the host OS) that will not allow me to connect online with Verison Mobile Broadband which is my primary mode because of where I live. (There is no CATV here).

I installed VM Box and had a couple of problems so I uninstalled it. Is there a lack of compatibility 'tween VM and PP003?

TrailerTrash. Thank you of feedback. I havent consciously removed or done anything to VM. I dont use it and I dont know anything about. Getting it working would need feedback what is missing and what should be added and what went wrong which should have worked.

Yep. Polarpup 003 kernel is intel atom processor optimized. Main reason is that it seems to be newest general optimization which also Pentium 4 accepts. I install my laptop tools all package to all of my distros so netbooks have quite good support also.

I am total newbie when it comes to VM. My ways to test new distros is oldfashioned install it, test it..keep it...or remove it....Mostly i just remove....and keep on going with kennel of Puppies. Well...I am doggie person from my soul, lol.

Billtoo`s latest and greatest VLC has been uploaded to the Pets_Qt4 repo:

Hi pemasu !

Great job on this pup.
Full install on Fujitsu Siemens "Esprimo E" @ 3 GHz with 4 GB ram.
Running smooth
Love the hand brake soft.
and Firefox 5.
I'm getting a 404 access denied msg on the link for the VLC.pet
What version of Musescore were you reffering to ?
