This is a Dynebolic wishlist. If you want something added to Dynebolic, you can add it here.

Please only add software that is free (as in speech).

Please say who you are that wants it, and why (say something about it)

Features

• ALSA 1.0.8, for better sound module support (specifically the Motif R and a number of USB keyboards)
• something similar to ltsp, easy configuration of remote X server-terminals architecture
• What about if I could install a new application on my hard-disk and then burn a new Dynebolic Bootable CD including it?
  • that can probably be UnionFS, help is welcome to set that up -jrml
• kernel 2.6 in dyne:II

  • Necessary kernel patch "OpenMosix" is not available for kernel versions above 2.4.x -martin

  • The FATX driver for Linux 2.6 is broken: serious Linux distributions for XBoxes must still use the 2.4 kernel. When they come out with Dynebolic 2, we'll lose XBox support for FATX formatted partitions (if the XBox has cromwell instead, you could wipe the drive clean and format it all as an ext3 filesystem).
• Drivers (hardware support) for:

  • WebCam Go (Creative Labs). Driver: [http://go.lamarinapunto.com/modules/news/ w9968cf] -axeloide

  • Wacom Graphire II tablet mouse - I can't use dynebolic at all as I only have the tablet: X-Evian includes support for this already so I suspect drivers are easilyavailable.
    • updates to X will support this.

  • Prism54 wireless chipset, http://prism54.org, included in kernel 2.6.5 (though still unclear whether firmware is free software)

  • Atmel wireless chipset, http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net

  • vloopback (see http://veejay.sourceforge.net/mini_howto.html) vloopback lets you use software to feed a application that only takes v4l inputs. (can be found at http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice)

  • SAA7134 Chipset (see http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/saa7134.html)

  • ZD1201 Zydas USB Wireless chispet - cheap and good for external USB antenna wifi mounts [http://linux-lc100020.sourceforge.net/] erisian

Only useful when JACK is available

• Creox, a real time sound processor, [http://www.uid0.sk/zyzstar/?creox], it's really nice as a guitar effector, and is easier to use than for instance jack-rack.

• SuperCollider, real time audio programming language [http://supercollider.sf.net/]

  • This is still in cvs, but already quite usable, GNU/Linux version will probably be in cvs for a long long while, so it would be kewl to include it anyway, oh and there's already a Debian package somewhere. Including it will be a great way to attract hurds of enthusiastic Mac OS X musicians
