Portato was added as the second software management tool (GUI for Portage) in the systemconfig which
makes a good job even though its elementary (0.13).
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) was added as a kernel module and will be loaded by default. So if you own a graphics card with an Intel, ATI Radeon or SIS chip you can enjoy the pretty and cool desktop effects (3D-Desktop) by using the free and default video driver.
NOTE: If Toorox won't load the desktop correctly, please make use of the nodrm cheatcode.
( Bootmenu -> Press Tab -> Press Space -> enter nodrm -> Hit return )
The "LAN+WLAN" script from Systemconfig has been improved - if your wireless LAN device requires a special firmware file - this will be displayed. Then you can simply select it for loading.
The missing Synaptics Touchpad driver was re-added and pre-configured for a handy left-click by tapping on the pad.
As a new filesystem you can now select ext4 for your Toorox HD-Installation.
Please read the Changelog for more informations ...
