Downloaded proprietary nvidia driver. The installer disabled nouveau, built modules and installed perfectly. Judging by glxgears, framerate increased significally.

Missing symlink between /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2 .

This is fixed in python2-2.7.2 package in the repo.

Seems 2.7.2 introduces some other problems.

there is a png patch here:  http://shining.toofishes.net/etracer/0001-ppgltk-fix-build-with-png-1.4.patch.txt
the others in the dir look useful
you need to use the --libdir=/usr/lib64 with configure so it knows where to look for and place libs

Thanks! After applying the patch it would build. Now Tux "flies" at 130-260 FPS, using 1280x1024 fullscreen.

I installed VLocity onto one of my computer's partitions.

- When using the "Select how Vlocity Linux should use /dev/sdXX" window, selecting "Mountpoint > Other" threw me out of the installer and into JWM (with a gray background). Had to reboot and start over.

- Trying to install LILO to the partition VL was installed on just gave error messages (on 2 attempts). (Which was just as well. I know that Slackware uses LILO, but still.) The installer would only let me install GRUB2 to the MBR of the computer, which is already "controlled" by another version of Linux, so that's not going to happen. It'd be nice to have the option of installing GRUB2 to the partition VL's installed on. I did it manually.

- I use a wireless keyboard that's connected to the computer via USB. During the ncurses part of the setup (setting up X), it didn't recognize the down arrow or up arrow keys, or the Tab key. I had to use vasm later.

- After using vasm to set up X, it wouldn't start. "modesetting" was set as the name of the driver in xorg.conf. Changed it to "nouveau".

After an upgrade, gslapt will no longer run from the menu. (Actually I don't know if it ran from the menu before the upgrade, since I ran it from a terminal.) Problem is that "gksu" is missing from the command to start it.

Initial load went well using text installer. I will do my usual things over the next several days...

[scififry]

As I finally got the new power supply for my 64-bit machine I installed VL 64 onto it (Athlon 64 2GHz, 1280MB RAM).

Installation went very smooth, took only about 10 minutes.

When the first time configuration dialogue comes up after booting the freshly installed system for the first time, I cannot navigate between the options using the cursor keys or any other keys that could work for movement. Instead, just things like ^B , ^C and similar (depending on the key) appear in the line of the OK and Cancel buttons.
After just pressing enter without choosing anything I configured everything using vasm; keyboard and video configurations work now.

Cups still won't let me choose the parallel port as printing device (did in VL7 RC2.1 and RC3.4 too). It's an old 24-pin dot matrix printer connected directly to the parallel port and I can provide the required PPD file.

Thunar works fine without any bugs.

Looks very good so far, really good design!

Greetings,
