Thanks for your prompt reply glassparrot. I have tried to install the devx_431.sfs file and told puppy to load it at boot time but the system hangs when it tries to load that file. I then have to boot to the CD to remove it from the startup config. I'm slowly getting to feel my way around puppy and ...

After many installs, re-installs and fooling around, I have reached the conclusion that the xorg (vanilla) drivers work ok. There's no compiz-fusion but I can live with that. Thanks for all the help I received.
Puppy still ROCKS!!!

Thanks for your reply again Chris. I've been playing with this for long enough. A fresh install is probably in order. There's no important data on this system but I just hate re-installing without trying all the options available first. It's how I learn about things. Thanks again.

Thanks for your help Chris. I guess I'll prod and poke some more, should be achievable somehow.............

Hey again CatDude! I did as you suggested and changed the xorg.conf from nv to nvidia but when I try to restart X, it falls back to a command prompt. I then ran xorgwizard to regain the GUI and found it had reverted back to nv in the xorg.conf. I tried editing the xorg.conf with mp from a command pr...

Thanks CatDude for your prompt reply. I have downloaded and installed the driver package NVIDIA-173.14.20-k2.6.30.5-1.pet, I then ran 'nvidia=xconfig' and it looked like it did it's thing but receive the following message: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.
