I used the 185 driver instead of the 190, because that's the one I use in Ubuntu Karmic. After installing it, which broke X as before, I deleted xorg.conf and copied over the one from my standard Puppy 4.3.1 install.</p> <p>I should have retained the Macpup-installed xorg.conf for comparison, but I didn't.</p> <p>Lane </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/graphic-problem-prevents-install#post-1420 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:58:57 +0000 runtt21 1420@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>I think you may need to use 4.3.0 if that dosen't work. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/graphic-problem-prevents-install#post-1419 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 21:32:02 +0000 LaneLester 1419@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Left click? (hitting forehead with hand) Yes, that got it done.</p> <p>And yes, xvesa gave me a desktop I could use, although it's not centered quite correctly.</p> <p>After I finished the frugal install and rebooted, I selected xorg, and then I installed the 190 nVidia driver .pet. Unfortunately, it didn't work and X was broken until I went back to xvesa. No time now, but I'm going to try copying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the successful Puppy 4.3.1 installation.</p> <p>Thanks for the good suggestions. I'm looking forward to exploring this Puppy.</p> <p>Lane </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/graphic-problem-prevents-install#post-1418 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:33:32 +0000 runtt21 1418@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>left click on the desktop should open the main menus , try running with xvesa the next time you run and see what happens. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/graphic-problem-prevents-install#post-1417 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:13:59 +0000 LaneLester 1417@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>I don't know if I'll be able to give MacPup a test or not. I have an nVidia motherboard chipset that messes up the video until I get the right driver installed. This means that almost all distro LiveCDs look bad (Sabayon was the exception). However, with the exception of MacPup, LiveCDs have enough showing so that I can install them to the hard drive and get the video fixed. Whatever is at the bottom of the MacPup screen doesn't show, and there's not much in the right-click menu other than the terminal. Maybe I could execute the Puppy Universal Installer from the command line if I knew what the command is.</p> <p>Lane </p>
