Slacko Puppy 6.3.2 Xorg error /dev/dri/card0 no such file..

#1 Post by Lantha »

Hi,

I have a laptop with an integrated intel HD 520 and an Nvidia Geforce GTX 950M

When trying to run slacko from usb and running

Code: Select all

xsorgwizard
because xsorg didn't start propoerly, I chose "Intel" in the list.
Now I have a "no screen found" error and looking further into the "Xorg.0.log" file reveals the real error : open /dev/dri/card0: no such file or directory.

How can I solve that ?
I saw here https://askubuntu.com/questions/998628/ ... -directory that "reinstalling the drivers" should fix it but how can I do that in puppy as there is no apt and as, as I understand, ppm is only accessible in graphical mode.
Thanks for any help :D

EDIT : For some reason, just now, after leaving my computer on in Puppy for 2 or 3 hours, when I launched xorgwizard it said "probing for video devices" (it didn't show that before) and then, added to the .conf list were 2 nvidia driver.
It didn't help though, when using other drivers than the intel one, the system hangs.

EDIT 2:
issue got solved here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=119170
