I am kind of confused with the whole thing myself. I inserted an Option Inverted command somewhere in Xorg.conf and it worked both doing the screen and the mouse. I ran the configuration wizard again because I thought i was in Vesa. Oh well

well i'm kind of confused as to how it happened. I was trying the invert option in Xorg.conf I was able to get both the mouse and screen the way I wanted. I ran the Xorg configurator again and was unable to replicate the results. I've determined that i must have been in Xvesa. I just inserted Option...

well the computer is mounted under a cabinet and its not coming down to easy. Well I got the mouse fixed in Xvesa so I will just use that for now. Hopefully the next puppy version coming out will have better Xorg support for me. I'll give up on it for now. No luck with the video card info?

well now the mouse is not the problem is Xorg it's the screen. I can't invert or rotate the screen

I believe it to be this chipset
ATI Rage Mobility-M1 with 8MB SDRAM

@disciple
Okay I have managed to find a video driver on the archive section of the acer site. I can dowload it but it is a .exe file. How do I install this driver to puppy so I can do what I need to with Xrandr?

okay i will look into the video card drivers and such. It's a ten year old Acer Travelmate 737TLV. I have inserted Option "Inverted" into the device sections being screen and display with no luck. Hopefully if i can find that video driver Xrandr will work for me. So i'm out of luck using t...

@ disciple Alright i have successfully rotated the mouse axises in Xorg using an Option InvX and Y command. I just need to get the display/screen to flip. I have tried putting in Option "Inverted" in several different places. If I can just get this then my troubles will have come to an end...

well that's true steve I'll give it a try when i get home tonight. i'm really hoping disciples method will work for me, but if not it sounds like the alternative is a good move as well. thanks for the help

thank you very much for the input disciple.
just have a few questions. Do i try to run this in the terminal? because bash does not realize the command "option". Do i insert this in an Xorg file? The exact location of where i need to plug this in would be absolutely wonderful.
Thanks

@ steve_s Ha ha i don't think i'm quite far enough along in my Linux learning curb to try that. I am going to try the X folders again. I have heard that flipping the Axises is pretty easy in Xorg but i am stuck in Vesa because the screen won't rotate in Xorg. Anybody got a little bit more newbie fri...

okay thank you I will try that. I have been in the X11 folders quite alot trying to find where to change this setting.

thanks zenfunk i'll try that
Anybody have any suggestions on inverting the mouse?

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me invert the mouse axises. I have inverted the screen now I just need the mouse fixed. I thought it would be in xorg.conf but there is nothing there pertaining to mice. I tried searching everywhere to no avail.
Any help is very much appreciated,
Ldrew

@ disciple
I actually was successful in flipping it i just had to play with the XVesa settings. It is working fine for me now. Thanks for the advice on the startup issue. Any particular place i need to place that command?

I have successfully rotated the screen in XVESA. I first set up XVESA using 1024x768x24 and the command failed. The desktop however presented normally. I then reran the XVESA wizard and used 1024x768x16 settings. After i did this the screen flipped nicely for me. Is there a way to automate this comm...

I just changed my video to XVESA. I then ran the same command and the screen goes blank for a minute then comes back on. The terminal error simply says failed to change the screen configuration!

what i'm trying to recreate is found here

This guy's computer has similar specs CPU & Ram. About the same era computer. I have an Acer Travelmate 737TLV that originally ran Windows 98.

@ravensnest

That is correct. I get that screen however the only information present is pertaining to the screen. nothing about VGA or S-Video. So i guess i'm out of luck?
