Hi Martin, Thanks for trying with dfly :) DFly doesn't have any (KMS) Nivida GPU support, and your laptop seems really old (i.e., without UEFI), so I don't think the xf86-video-scfb work for you. If you can disable the Nvidia GPU (in BIOS) and use the integrated Intel GPU, it would be the best for dfly. > I tried most of the available desktop environments for dragonfly: > windowmaker, lumina, mate, lxde, xfce, kde.

There are quite some users and devs running dfly as a desktop, and XFCE and MATE (I'm not sure about other DEs) should work well. There is a known library problem with polkit (/usr/local/lib/polkit-1/polkitd), which causes problem for dbus, but I don't know whether this problem is related to your issues. To workaround the library problem: # cd /usr/local/lib # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmozjs-52.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libmozjs-52.so.0 Cheers, -- Aaron
