I discovered the original 50mb DSL not long after release and thoroughly enjoyed it after installing it onto a Chinese netbook along with others on the little Linux laptop forum. My intention with the new release is to do the same with a retina 2015 MacBook Pro.
Bought you a coffee as a thanks for what became a fascinating couple of years squeezing functionality out of something that was probably manufacturer to landfill otherwise.

Inxi -G output:
Code: $ inxi -G
Graphics:
Device-1: AMD RV250/M9 GL [Mobility FireGL 9000/Radeon 9000] driver: radeon
v: kernel
Display: server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.7 driver: X: loaded: radeon
unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa dri: swrast gpu: radeon
resolution: 1024x768~60Hz
API: EGL v: 1.4,1.5 drivers: kms_swrast,swrast
platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device
API: OpenGL v: 4.5 vendor: x.org mesa v: 22.3.6 renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM
15.0.6 128 bits)
I don't know if I would call it a critical issue or not, but in the context of DSL and making use of older hardware it seems worth mentioning: graphics acceleration for all ATI (now AMD) graphics hardware from the R100 and R200 families is not supported by Mesa 22.x.x which is what is provided by default with the current release candidate of DSL 2024 (AntiX-21?). And that also may be true for Nouveau (NV04-NV20)
In the output from 'inxi -G' (top of the post), this information makes it clear what's going on:
Code: Display: server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.7 driver: X: loaded: radeon
unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa dri: swrast gpu: radeon
resolution: 1024x768~60Hz
Basically the radeon driver is loaded (as opposed to fbdev, modesetting, or vesa), but the DRI part is swrast (software raster?)
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Prerequisites
[6] Mesa 22.0 and higher have dropped support for R100 and R200
This applies to all off the Radeon 7xxx, 8xxx, 9xxx graphics cards/chipsets.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Adva...figuration
The "fix" on Gentoo, if desired, is installing mesa-amber and to disable llvm stuff as long as you
don't need it for any other graphics card.
Per Mesa 3D docs (amber):
"After Mesa 21.3, all non-Gallium DRI drivers were removed from the Mesa source-tree. These drivers are still being maintained to some degree, but only on the amber branch, and only for critical fixes.
These drivers include:
- Radeon
- r200
- i915
- i965
- Nouveau (the DRI driver for NV04-NV20)
"
I'm not sure what can be done about this, since it's a not entirely unexpected outcome of "progress".
But I imagine it could affect some subset of people that might be interested in DSL. That could well be much than I would think since this cover a lot of common graphics cards in the early to mid 2000s.
E.g. NV04-NV20 consists pretty much all NVidia graphics up through the GeForce 4 family.

I'm looking to use DSL as my base OS for the following, each on their own PC:
Apache server & PHP
Jenkins Build Server
MySQL Server
GIT Server
Will DSL be able to install all of the required components for each of these?

I have two DSL systems set up on two different very old PC's. Everything is working fine so far, but on one of the systems the Network Properties are not populated even though it is hard wired on ethernet. I do have access to the internet and can browse with no issues. I do not see any adverse behavior. Just wondering why one PC has the properties populated and the other one does not?

Bonjour,
L'interface graphique de XMMS propose un menu à gauche.
La lettre D permet d'agrandir l'interface.
Mais, lorsque je clique sur la lettre D, j'obtiens un message d'erreur :
Code: Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
serial 5857 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0
Et l'interface devient noire et inactive.
Selon vous, est-il possible de résoudre ce problème ?
Merci.
Amitiés.

Hello,
I use DSL2024 RC4 - frugal install on pendrive.
The XMMS graphical interface has a menu on the left.
The letter D enlarges the interface.
But when I click on the letter D, I get an error message:
Code: Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
serial 5857 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0
And interface goes black and inactive.
In your opinion, is it possible to solve this problem?
Thank you.
Best regards.

Control Centre doesn't work unless I do sudo first (su doesn't work). I'm surprised nobody else is reporting this. Am I really the only one with this problem?
Once I do sudo, all Control Centre commands work, except:
Session - User Desktop Session
Session - Activate Clipboard Manager
Hardware - Mouse Configuration
The "Hardware" category is empty.
The bug reported here prevents the installation or update of certain programs (I've noticed synaptic and smartmontools). Perhaps you could solve this problem even if AntiX doesn't, for example by adding the necessary GPG key.
I find that NetSurf doesn't work well with most Web sites. There's nothing to be done, I suppose.
Previously reported:
The installation program marks a swap partition as file type 83 rather than the correct 82.
Enhancement request: Add battery status to conky.

What an interesting project, I'm looking forward to trying it.
Accessibility/disability issue: I've got an extreme sensitivity to short wavelength blue light.
I'm working on getting an e-ink monitor, but until then and to rescue old laptops
Does DSL have a built in blue-light filter program on either JWM or fluxbox?
What would it take to install radky's JWM desk (https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.p...714#p39714) from puppy linux on JWM in DSL?
Or some other blue-light filter program?
Thank you,
If I were to imagine any features I wanted in a distro, and it would be so
All of the text in the boot up process would be large font, maybe 18 Bold
And the menus would start with large text, too
Default color temp, instead of 6500k, would somehow be set to 1800k (candlelight) from the boot screen onwards
One can dream
