Hello @PeeBee is the fdrv a requirement for boot+use of the 07/24/2021 ISOs?

Don't understand............
The Updates listed above do not use this 64-bit kernel....
but the iso does contain a suitable fdrv for use with it......

@peebee I tested this latest kernel. I noticed that synaptics touchpad does not work unlike previous kernel version

No changes that I know of ........... google search does not provide any info ............. what do you mean by "does not work"? Any clues in dmesg??

[mistfire]

what do you mean by "does not work"? Any clues in dmesg??

The touchpad does not work. Unable to intereact with mouse pointer. I checked dmesg, the touchpad does not detected. I tried lsmod the synaptics kernel module was not on the list. I tried hardinfo app still the touchpad doesn't detected even I tried lspci, it doesn't show the touchpad. However when I tried other linux distro such as Ubuntu, my touchpad was detected and works

[peebee]

I checked on my Samsung netbook and the synaptic pad worked fine
What firmware fdrv are you using? Try a different one?
Anyone else having problems?

[Marv]

Seems ok here. Just did a 5.14.0 to 5.14.2 bump on the LxPupSc64 21.04 +3 install on the i5 based Fujitsu S761. The touchpad (detected as synaptics) continues to work correctly on this HW/OS. Quick check of browsers, Sylpheed ok, not much else tested as yet. Most relevant stuff below:

@peebee I tested the kernel still my touchpad doesn't work. synaptics_i2c kernel module does not load. It seems there is more HID and I2C kernel modules related to synaptics_i2c might be missing from compiling take a look on this list of loaded kernel modules from my laptop between Ubuntu kernel and LxPup kernel. My current laptop is Acer Aspire ES1-433

P.S: Please include basic ACPI kernel modules on the kernel. Your kernel unable to shutdown and reboot from initrd shell or when zdrv module is not loaded

Update: I tried your kernel on Lenovo S130 the touchpad not working.

@peebee - where can I download the latest 32-bit kernel (only the kernel)?

@peebee - where can I download the latest 32-bit kernel (only the kernel)?

There isn't a 32-bit version of 5.14 that I know about........ I only build 64-bit kernels

You can get a 32-bit version of latest 5.10 LTS from:
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... el-kit.yml
