[debian-knoppix] Beta 2 report
Ok, after a brief discussion with Klaus regarding Beta 1, I'm posting about
Beta 2 here. (Hi everyone. )
The DVD boots up fine now on my Fujitsu lifebook. My previous problems with
beta 1 where the IDE chipset causes kernels up to 2.4.20 or so to lock up
when probing. This has been fixed in beta 2 with 2.4.21. The autoconfig
failure seems to be fixed as well, and everything boots up fine. I was able
to store a configuration and make a home directory cloop file on a USB key.
One odd thing that's happening is that if I have a USB mouse connected to
the laptop, its use doesn't seem to reset the ACPI timer, so every few
minutes if I'm just web browsing the screen suddenly shuts off. I'm going
to use the built in mouse for a while to see if that still happens.
As a side note for either edition, boot commandline support for 16x9ish
screens (1024x600, 1280x768 - what I have specifically) would be cool. For
whatever reason, the ati rage driver seems to strech horizontally, messing
up the right side if booted into 1024x768. A custom X config file readily
fixes the problem, so it's really just an annoyance.
Mozilla seems to work well, pretty speedy considering. I'll be running
through more apps over the next few hours.
Overall, this DVD edition is really awesome!
-Sean.
