Fatdog64-510 RC4

#1 Post by kirk »

Fatdog64-510rc4 is available for testing. The big changes are a new kernel 2.6.35.7, Xorg updated to 7.6, and Samba server 3.0.37 added. Here's the change log:

* Update to Xorg 7.6 (Xorg-server to 1.9)
* Update/rebuild all xorg drivers
* Update Mesa to 7.8.2
* Update Firefox to 3.6.12
* Add upload option for ftp on Firefox.
* Update Flash to 9/27 square
* Update libxine to 1.1.19
* Update kernel to 2.6.35.7
* Patched the kernel for the new Dell Alps touch pads.
* Patched the kernel for Intel Ironlake video (Dell e6410/e6510).
* Update Pburn to 3.2.9
* Update dhcpcd to 5.2.7 (I see that 5.2.8 is out now, so this will change)
* Added Samba-3.0.37, just the parts needed to run a fileserver and client. (The rest is in a pet package if you want it.)
* A little GUI to start and stop the Samba server. The Downloads folder is shared without a password. Users connect as user spot.
* Added LameSMBxplorer
* Added netdiscover
* Added Monkey web server 0.11.1 and a GUI to start and stop it.
* Added a FAQ link to the home page with some docs.
* Other updates I've forgotten
* bug fixes

Added new pfix= options:
pfix=vesa --- Use the vesa video driver when Xorg auto configures it self the first time.
Pfix=xorgwizard --- Use the old xorgwizard instead of auto configuration at first boot.

It seems that some wifi modules in kernels after 2.6.28 will obey disconnect requests that APs send out after being idle for awhile. Added a script (WIFI-Keepalive) that checks if a wireless interface is associated, if so a daemon is started that pings the gateway every 20 seconds. Starting and restarting this script is in init.d and is tied in to the network wizard and pwireless. If you don't want this hack running delete /usr/sbin/WIFI-Keepalive.

I've also uploaded ati-catalyst-10.10.pet. The old ATI and Nvidia pet packages have been moved to the "old" folder. Please note that these video pet packages are kernel specific. There is no Nvidia package for 510 yet, but hopefully soon.

Please check out the FAQs link on the Firefox home page. I typed up some basic documentation.

EDIT: don't download this now, rc5 will be out soon.
