This is a pre-release version of the slackware based LazyDragon liveDVD with Xgl and new Nvidia drivers (2.23 GB )
BTW found the info on linuxtorrent

that's awesome

Anyone have any more info

hey ,
I got more info

LazyDragon is a Slackware/linux-live-scripts based distro
with Xgl (testing , + in .tgz form - there is a Xgl-combo package
in '/root/Xgl/xgl' that way if you dont like LazyDragon you can
take the Xgl packages to your own slackware based distro. )

To start Xgl in LazyDragon for NVIDIA cards

enter 'nvinstall' to setup the new Nvidia-8758-Drivers(2.6.16)
and then execute the 'install.sh' script in the '/root/Xgl' folder.

After that you're ready to execute either the 'startgnomexgl.sh'
script or the 'startkdexgl.sh' script.
REMEMBER TO ADD A DISPLAY NUMBER AFTER.

e.g bash% sh startgnomexgl.sh 1
or
bash% ./startgnomexgl.sh 1
(It also includes an NVIDIA_8758-1lzy.tgz package that doesn't
f'up direct rendering when you type 'ldconfig'. the 'nvinstall'
command will install that package and update your xorg.conf ready.)

LazyDragon has got lots of games like
Scorched3d , stepmania , ppracer , unreal2004-online demo ,
warsow , tux-puck (this game rules , hats off to anyone who can defeat tux) , NeverGames ,Duke3d ,wormux , foobillards, GLtron
, ArmagetronaD (testing) , moon-lander +

It was originally designed (LazyDragon) for professional audio and
video production , so it keeps up to date with the most recent
Cinelerra builds and also includes
Linux video editing system LIVES
Linux multi-media system LMMS
RoseGarden .
VLC8.5 , MPLayer ,xine , helix player , totem ,kaffeine
Lots of Video-encoding utilities .
And most importantly , a nice bootsplash
(Dropline Gnome 2.12.3, KDE3,5,2 ,Enlightenment DR17 .)

(Xgl is an added extra , still in testing. if you just wanna play
games , use Xorg as it is the only way to get direct-rendering and doesnt suffer from the bugs of Xgl and compiz. plus the 3d button by the clock in gnome will only work in Xorg as it requires direct-rendering.)

Mmm... I've been wanting to try Xgl for a while now, and some time ago I was looking a audio-editing oriented distro... Anybody has an URL for this distro? I couldn't find it in distrowatch.com and googling around I only found the same link posted here...

hey Theoffset

At the moment Lazydragon is still pre-release.

lazydragon dot org has been registered, but at the moment
torrents are the only way to obtain it.

I should have a basic site up soon with links to torrents for the dvd and
a cd-version. if all goes well i'll give distro-watch an email.

Great! I'm downloading the torrent right now, but my internet is rather slow, so it will take a while... then I'll have to find my brother and ask him to lend me his DVD-writer

I hope you like it . if you have any problems getting started
either post to this thread or email me @ catman@lazydragon.org

http://lazydragon.org is up , but still under-construction.
To see the new site goto http://lazydragon.org/test
Updates for lazydragon are now up @ http://lazydragon.org
Including a fix for Xgl/compiz that enables things to be controlled
with Gconf-editor . enabling you to lower the refresh rate for
wobbly windows , which should stop them being choppy on some machines.

Now i've got my new Ati card , instructions on how to startup lazydragon/Xgl for
Ati hardware will be added to http://lazydragon.org shortley .

Little Web bug-report:
You people got your own torrent link wrong in your homepage.

It's pointing at http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=2029

But it should pont to http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=2092

theoffset maybe I miss something, but aren't the 2 links you posted the same ? I don't see any difference...

It's hard to see it:

It's pointing at
http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=2029

But it should pont to
http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=2092

I can't seem to get the friggin [ url ] tags dissapear

Thanks for pointing that out for me Theoffset, I noticed it a while ago , I thought I had fixed it (the link) and this morning it was pointing towards 'geexbox' again (it should be 2092 but it was 2029.)
Its fixed now and I've added basic intructions for starting Xgl on Ati cards .
Have any of you guys tried LazyDragon yet ?
The torrent has been snatched 23 times , and Im anxious to hear
what people think . Remember that its still very pre-release but
being based on slackware , there shouldnt be too many bugs and
I think I've satisfied every dependency . The Stupid intro movie
(I made with Cinelerra and other tools ) Is only there so you can replace it with your own movies if you
wanna use your computer as a automatic movie player.
Just place your films in the /root/lazy/' folder and rename them
by prefixing 'lazyint' to the title . e.g lazyintclockworkorange.mov or lazyinthardcore.avi , then they will
be played at boot automatically without having to touch anything.
To stop the intro from playing just press escape and you'll be at the login prompt .


our 'joomla!' page is up but still getting ready http://lazydragon.org/test

I'm still downloading it. It seems that my ISP has somehow managed to reduce the bitrate of torrents since a month ago. But I'm over 60% now
I'll give you feedback as soon as I test it.

Hey, Looks good!
The only thing that is still missing is a LazyDragon logo

my torrent upload speed is quite low sometimes , but Ill be getting some help seeding it in a couple of days .

yeh , I've been thinking about this for a couple of days now .
I try and design a couple later on and Ill post a link so
you guys can tell me what you think .

Thanks , I'd really appreiciate it If you could report any bugs
or things you think should be different. my new email is catman@lazydragon.org

the pre-release dvd isn't properly tailored for the public yet.
I only leaked it so some of my friends could give it a try/bug test it . Ill probably build an RC1 next week , it wont have anything thats not on the updates page so I wouldnt bother downloading it if you already have the pre-release iso .
(RC1 will support Xgl out of the box ,pre-release needs you to
execute the 'install.sh' script in '/root/Xgl' .)
(p.s. I've posted a lazydragon/E17 screenshot at torrentracker)
(added) I've just uploaded some new ati drivers that fix the acceleration problem in xorg , They may not be as good with Xgl as the others though , they need more testing. updates are at http://lazydragon.org
