Hi. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn't, unfortunately. I changed to "uk" and still ended up with the same (wrong) keystrokes that I had before.

colonel panic ok thanks for testing our first two efforts please try number three.................
download and install this package: http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/vec7/vlkbdset-0.1-noarch-vl70.txz
then run vasm and let us know if any success or failure.
Fingers crossed!!

Cheers,
Vec

Installed successfully onto the Duron, now posting from it.
New Kernel works great and increased the operating speed a lot!

Installed it on my Samsung N110 netbook.
Installation went without problems. Everything is working out of the box ( wireless, touchpad,..)
Using VL Quickpicks makes it very easy to install frequently used programs.
The only bug i'm having at the moment is when I try to set up screensaver. Xscreensaver is saying the deamon is not running and when clicking ok to activate, I get the following error :

Code:

The xscreensaver daemon did not start up properly.Please check your $PATH and permissions.

That's all for now.

there is a new xscreensaver-5.15 available in the testing repo. Pls test it see does it have the same problem or not...thanks

Found ach-makepkg 3.5.4 depends on fake root for the update
*Grabbed the  fake root package from slackbuilds using sbopkg then upgraded arch without a problem*
Found Gslapt has extra enabled could cause problem with upgrading python from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2

fakeroot is in the testing repo. Seems we still have quite a few in testing that haven't moved out to extra or packages.

Why would extra repo cause problems upgrading python?

On booting there is still the error message that in
/lib/udev/rules.d/56-hpmud_support.rules SYSFS has still not been changed to ATTR.

Ralink3370 chip based  wifi usb still not working at all, pls. put the ralink 3370 driver on VL mirrror ASAP!

I don't have an option to shut down or log out in XFce, just log out.

There was an easier one-command way to start an nfs network, but I don't remember what it was and I had to do my usual five or so rpc commands to get the network started. I'm having a problem. though. and will see if it persists through a reboot.

I installed Scribus--glad to see it's in the repos. I'm  perfectly content to download it but I do hope it will updated regularly.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to install on the Sempron.

Yes for user in xfce4 clicking on panel "Log Out Dialog" it goes straight to login
display. No dialog, however, for root there is the usual dialog.

I've installed RC3.4 on the Sempron computer. My LCD monitor runs at 1280x1024 and that resolution has never worked in the graphical installer. I always give it a try with a new release and at least this time I got a picture instead of a monitor disappearance with a "Non Optimum Resolution" or "Non Optimum Refresh Rate" that required a computer shutdown. The picture I got was distorted, however, and I couldn't get to the boxes on which to click. So I restarted at 1024x768 and that worked fine for installation, as it always has. Once I do the autosetup without xorg the proper 1280x1024 res at 60 Hz is properly identified and working. I'm using the nouveau driver.

I have the same problem with exiting as I have on my Athlon computer. The only choice is Logout; Shutdown and Restart are grayed out. The Hibernate, etc., options don't appear. I don't care about those as I never use them. This is running as user. I've never tried to log out or shut down as root.

I've rebooted twice, maybe. On my Athlon the DNS server was wrong after a reboot. I fixed it in /etc/resolv.conf but need to reboot to see if it holds this time. I didn't encounter this problem on the Sempron. Will see what happens with a reboot.

There is still much I haven't done. I'm having an nfs problem on my network that I haven't tried hard to track down. If I can't figure it out I'll ask.

On the whole, quite satisfactory.

Got the opportunity to try 3.4 on some real hardware, one with a GeForce GT 240 and another with a Radeon X800. I was pleasantly surprised to see how far the open source video drivers have come. On both machines, tuxracer was playable!
