i have installed DASHBOARD by HP on my gateway 2000 (80486 @ 33 MHz). i
have decided to use dashboard as my shell instead of program manager. however,
i have found that dashboard is extremely buggy.
(1) i get an average of two GPFs everyday. the cause is alway dashboard
and the kernel conflicting. also,
(2) the clock does not work if it is in analog mode. it only works in digital.
(3) the fuel gage does not work. there is no line drawing as memory is being
consumed. (i have 8 MB plus a 4 MB permanent swap).
(4) in the pulldown menus for groups, it fails to recognize the applications
if they are not on the path.
(5) occassionaly, it will screw up my soundblaster when i play one of the
package sounds. it continues to play the sound through my speakers until
i hit the reset button.
WEIRDNESS : i know of a person who uses an HP VECTRA and dashboard an he thinks
i am crazy because he does not see these problems. that is, it
was probably created on an HP VECTRA and not really tested with
a host of hardware configurations.
does anyone know of a patch or an update to dashboard. i think this would
be a fab. product if they can get the bugs out.
thank you.
