Hi,
I tested latest 4.0-RC2-base on a laptop Lenovo T61p.

Something is wrong with usb. Every minute, it automatically disconnects and reconnects the usb mouse.

Steps to reproduce:
- start laptop with 4.0-RC2 live cd,
- select base live,
- select language and keyboard,
- login as tux or root (both behaves the same),
- wait one or two minutes and you'll get this:

root@slitaz:# usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, address8
USB 2-1.1: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
input: Logitech USB Optical Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.a/input/input12 generic-usb 0003:0460:C05A.0009: input: USB HID V1.11 Mouse [Logitech USB Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-1.1/input 0

And every minutes it fills my screen with that message... This does not happen with Slitaz 3.

Cheers.

My Wireless is not engaged at boot. It is necessary to manually 'start' wifi. Checked /etc/ network.config and it appears to be triggered 'yes' to start at bootup.

Installed RC2 to eeePC701 and have just completed latest upgrade.

@plumtreed
Two settings are required in /etc/network.conf to bring up wireless network adapter by /etc/init.d/network.sh on boot:
# Set default interface.
INTERFACE="wlan0"
# Wifi connection.
# Enable/disable wireless connection at boot time.
WIFI="yes"

Default interface is ra0 on some ralink wireless chipset adapters.

If this does not fix the problem:
Before you restart network:
ifconfig
Is your wireless adapter listed?
What kind of install, frugal with persistance or full.

I guess some more feedback is necessary. At least for me RC2 means trouble, as I am not able to get a working Xscreen straight away.
For the developers who can interprete these data here the Xorg.0.log:
http://pastebin.com/V8ypxcyN
As a workaround I installed the non-free nvidia-driver and now it works - plus: it looks really nice! ;-)
Look here:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/nvidia-non-free-drivers/page/3
But in this form Slitaz 4.0 is not kind of ,,ready".

And, developers, not urgent, but to remember:
,,My personal status quo: at least I know and experienced that this nvidia-thing is solvable under Slitaz. No I have three issues left:
- to install fluxbox - done, no problem. But to use the style MerleKay (does not work yet)
- to use Kompozer in Slitaz (3.0 works, cooking not and 4.0 not)
- to wait for a texlive-tazpkg package or something that can give the desired LaTeX-,,motor" under Slitaz"

I can connect manually and I have changed both 'wifi=yes' and to 'wlan0' in /etc/network.conf...............this is a full install of 4.0RC2 (and udated)

....anything else need to be changed?

I thought this might be a prob with 4.0RC2

I just noticed you indicated '/etc/init.d/network.conf' ????.........s/b /etc/network.conf?

@plumtreed You need glasses. Mojo said /etc/network.conf and /etc/init.d/network.sh

This morning I tried again to boot the rc2-Live-CD, all options, using both the nomodeset mode and trying it without this command line addition. Everything failed:

[ 213.689] (WW) xf86OpenConsole: setpgid failed: Operation not permitted
[ 213.691] (EE) NV: The PCI device 0x10de016a (GeForce 7100 GS) at 05@00:00:0 has a kernel module claiming it.
[ 213.691] (EE) NV: This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded.
[ 213.691] (EE) No devices detected.
[ 213.691]
Fatal server error:
[ 213.691] no screens found

The 4.0-devel -variant works straight in case the nomodeset option is used.
It has

xorg-server 1.9.5 x-window

xorg-xf86-input-evdev 2.6.0 x-window
xorg-xf86-video-ati 6.14.1 x-window
xorg-xf86-video-geode 2.11.11 x-window
xorg-xf86-video-intel 2.15.0 x-window
xorg-xf86-video-nv 2.1.18 x-window
xorg-xf86-video-vesa 2.3.0 x-window

So my result is: on this particular machine the present RC2 is not useable. Unless, yes, one installs the proprietary nvidia driver.

@trixar

Nice of u to set me straight in such a thoughtful way.........and I hadn't even had a beer.........but my ability to read doesn't change things, still does configure wireless at boot up.

Hi,
of course I can:

http://is.gd/TazDevISO
In addition please read this text (which repeats the link):
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/40-rc1-crashing-on-boot-up-with-kernel-panic-help#post-6722

Plus: this one from @gibor works nice as well http://www.freefilehosting.net/slitaz-40-rc2-xvesa_1
- hopefully it brings help into this Xscreen jungle! ;-)

Plus: I checked my memory - in January I obtained a cooking-vesa-version where one has only xorg-server-light and xorg-xf86-video-vesa and this version booted into an Xscreen with ease, got the right screen resolution automatically.

(Personally I am no fan of proprietary nvidia cards - but I => must be sure that anybody to whome I give a Slitaz is able to boot to an Xscreen without any trouble.

@plumtreed Actually your ability read really does come into play here. If you bothered to check, /etc/init.d/network.sh is the bash script used at boot to configure network and wifi connections. While it may read it's configuration options from /etc/network.conf it's not the same thing. So to make is simple for you to grasp: it's the place you want to check to fix your problem.

Problem to run SliTaz RC2 from LiveCD

On an old Pentium IV 1.5GHz 512 M RAM / nVidia GeForce2 MX200 VGA controller
- base and justx = OK
- gtkonly = OK till the keyboard configuration box then the monitor displays OUT OF RANGE and less than 1 sec. later desktop is displayed in 800x600 resolution
- core = OK till keyboard configuration and then the monitor displays OUT OF RANGE ; I have to reset to restart the computer
The stable 3.0 xorg run perfectly well on it in 1024x768.

On a FUJITSU SIEMENS ESPRIMO MOBILE (2x Intel core2 duo CPU P8600 2,4GHz / display controller Intel Mobile 4 series chipset)
- base, justx and core = OK
- gtkonly -> black screen with two low lighted cursors in the top of the screen; this is exactly the problem I had with the 3.0 xorg stable (xvesa was OK) on this machine
Not really a problem because I use the core option but I don't understand why this one is running well...

Bug (?) : during boot, if I clik on the [Cancel] button in the Language configuration box, PC blocks with a black screen. I
need to reboot [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Esc] to restart the computer.

Congratulations to SliTaz Team for this new release that brought solutions to problems I meat on the FUJITSU machine. I hope I can install it on my P IV 1.5.

@sino93
The official slitaz-4.0 releases have xorg-server only, no xvesa.
