The system boots and runs like a meth-addled squirrel. I like the uncluttered desktop, and the new menu structure feels like it's moving in the right direction.

All I can see (wrong) are some little things: Emelfm's edit button tries to run beaver instead of leafpad and the autorun.bat on the ISO points to a non-existant index.html. I dont get resolution options in xvesa.lua, just an ok button, but I think that has already been mentioned elsewere.

Thanks for all your work!

I tried booting on my behemoth toshiba (266 P1 w/96 mb of ram and a "Chips and Tech. 65555 PCI" video card) and noticed that (along with being [i]really[/i] fast) xvesa showed the proper resolution options.

The desktop that didn't was a 450 P3, 256 meg ram, with a 64mb geforce 4 videocard (leadtek , I belive). I know that xvesa in dsl 2.3 works on this same system, I hope this helps you.

Hi Peter, That's odd, it is the same Xvesa server so I am not sure what is going on there yet.

Hmmm. tried it on another system, this one with a geforce mx 4000 video card. It is doing the same thing. and just to reiterate, when I run xvesa.lua, the panel opens, but only contains the ok button, it has no buttons for resolution/bit depth settings. Is anyone else experiencing this with an nvidia card?

so I I just checked in a3 to be sure, but I came up with a short list of changes to the files in the .emelfm configuration folder that might be helpful:

-=buttons file=-
"Create PDF=a2ps..." a2ps deos not exist (that I could find)
"Help=dillo..." change dillo to /usr/mozilla/mozilla

-=settings file=-
"XTERM_COMMAND=xterm" xterm to aterm

-=toolbar file=-
"Open an Xterm
rxvt..." rxvt to aterm

-=user_commands file=-
"View in leafpad=beaver %f" beaver to leafpad

-=filetypes file=-
I changed a few things here, so I'll just post the whole thing:

I guess it shows that I am not much of a file manager user.
Thanks for helping out, I will apply these changes.

There is a menu entry for "Editres" on the "system" submenu, but it doesn't appear to be on the system.
