Dpup has the radeon and radeonhd kernel modules already built-in.

Hi, guys.

To jeffy39: Told ya! We're very modest about it, but this thread IS Puppy User Heaven: one question, four answers! (Now where's the emoticon for the Puppy Angel?)

To Guy, Mick and dejan555: Thanks for the validations!

Maybe this post doesn't belong here, but concerning Puppy Angels... found a couple:

But tsk, tsk, they're copyrighted. Shouldn't the Puppy distro have its own Puppy Angel ?

It's Christmas Eve night here in OZ, so i'd like to wish all Puppians and Dpup devs and testers a very Merry Christmas...stay safe and happy over the holiday period...


Best Wishes
Guy Pearson

Thanks Guy

Same to you, and all the best to all Puppy users and families.

Cheers

Howdy all,
@ musher, micko, dejan, gposil,
Thanx much guys for the replies. Been busy with 'interruptions'
thus slow to respond.
Dpup-Xorg is the only pup that works good for me, have to use
Xvesa on the others.
I have a Radeon 9500 Pro. Was mainly concerned about getting
hardware acceleration. I tried XP in VBox under Puppy 430, had very
poor Frames/sec. (1to 3). Wine doesnt seem to support M$'s
Combat Flgt. Sim 2, my favorite game.
I've since removed apt-syn from 482. Still no 'luck' getting Wine menu entry. With 482's ATI support, hoping VBox or Wine will let me shoot down zeros again.
Tried to install CFS2, Wine did get the 'exec', but failed with 'not
enough room on Z drive'. How do I config-create 'Z drive'.
Thanx to all for the help. This 'old dog' (70+) trying to learn new
tricks. Was IBM main-frame ALC pgrmr. for 32 yrs.
Hope all have a great Xmas-new year.
Sincerely, jw

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !

Me not worthily and not worthily, finally not worthily.

Happy holidays to everyone!

@jeffy39
Type winecfg in terminal that should bring up wine configuration GUI
Also for opengl/DRI acceleration install libgl1-mesa deb from package manager.

@shankargopal
I'm using your e17 in dpup ATM, works very good, it's real eyecandy!

Howdy All,
@ Dejan555:
Thanx much for the glib-dri tip. I installed.
Re: RageTheatre, I have 6 lines with RageTheatre****
Un-comment 1 or all ?, or which ?
If not too much trouble, maybe paste your config for all?
My 9500 Pro card should be quite similar.
Or email to me?
Thanx much, jw

Sure, I use this config for my Radeon 9250 with dri installed, gziped and attached

It's 10:45 pm Christmas Eve here so to everyone involved with Dpup,
Merry Christmas.

Sorry to take so long to reply - didn't get any email notification for some reason.

Really? I am running it at the moment after installing from the dotpet on a fresh dpupsave, and didn't need to install anything else. Incidentally isn't libiconv in dpup already?

It's wonderful, isn't it? I can barely work without it nowadays . Just wish they would get out at least a beta release some day...

Yes I ran it with pfix=ram, libiconv is not in dpup by default but it is in devx, that's why you didn't need to install it for compiling. And you probably had devx mounted when you installed it if it was a fresh dpupsave.

dejan555 wrote:And you probably had devx mounted when you installed it if it was a fresh dpupsave.

That would be correct. Damn. What would be the best way to add it in - list it as a dependency? Or compile it from source and put it into the package? Latter might produce conflicts presumably...

I already have one libiconv package here that I made for weechat/fluxbox but as gposil explained few pages ago that lib is deprecated in debian and next release of dpup will not have it in devx. So I guess we'll have to recompile apps

As I gathered the eventual decision was to leave libiconv in. At least I hope so , since in fact I tried pretty much everything, including the things that Sit Heel Speak (or was it you, dejan555?) mentioned in his post, to get E17 to compile without libiconv, but none of them worked. The configure script would not recognise any of the "without-libiconv" options. Eventually it only compiled with CFLAGS=-liconv as a configure option. If it's of any interest, the dependency is in the edje EFL library.

Have edited the E17 post earlier in this thread to direct people to either load the devx or install your package, dejan555. That's a makeshift solution for now I guess...

Yes, it was decided to leave libiconv in the devx and the runtime library is also available on the ibiblio Dpup repo...http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 6-dpup.pet

Hope that clears that up..

Cheers

Great, thanks gposil. Have changed the link in the earlier post to point to the repository one instead.

Incidentally, would it be a good idea to have a separate thread for dpup software packages?
