No, I had not known and learned that in pain! On that old machine I simply could not compile what I wanted. All I got were errors and segmentation faults.
Such machines are out there, but I guess Slitaz was not designed for them. What I did should have been not much more than a little proof of concept. If it works right out of the box, like nvidia non-free on 3.0, it is much better for the => user. The developers or the hard-core nerds compile anyway.
If I know enough to understand why sometimes the ressources for nice eye-candy can be so huge that the fun with it would be gone (screenlets, may be) then it is ok by me.
This thread wants to discuss a new cooking. What I observed is this:
boot cooking xorg-light. Check lsmod. No module, vesa or nouveau is shown. Then try ,,tazhw setup nvidia --non-free". It runs smooth. But when you stop the Xscreen, run ,,nvidia-xconfig" - then you sit in front of a black screen. The error message is: ,,module nouveau" is missing. Hey, what is this? I did not run ,,tazx" and then installed ,,nv". So there is something wrong inside, yes? Either this kernel 2.6.37 of cooking cannot handle it or some misconfiguration. I do not know. All I can do is try it, check it out and tell here my observation - as I am => no developer.
