bonjour big_bass

i have 2 problem with fatfree 3.0

- it don't recognize his pup_save.2fs after a frugal installation so he starts each time as new system and you can add nothing in permanent installation (puppy 3.0 works properly)

- the Xvesa became on fatfree 3.0 and on puppy 3.0 a very poor Xvesa! in Xvesa and fatfree 2.17 I use the resolution 1280 x 1080 x 24 but this better resolution is not available any more (same for 1400 for people with better video card as my card).

salut

First ,thanks for trying fat free and taking the time to report your situation.


because you asked ...
I booted fatfree3 selected xvesa set my monitor installed to my ext2 drive frugal and when it prompted me for the pup_300.sfs I said yes I used no encryption 512M save and when I rebooted everything was fine the only thing I noticed different instead of the usual /mnt/home there was a folder created called puppy300 inside that was /mnt/home /puppy so , It worked for me ( another note I installed IDE)

The xvesa driver is based on the video card you have I booted version 3.01 all the way down to version 212 with xvesa and the video setting you posted was not available
I suggest you find the version that booted xvesa with the 1280 x 1080 x24
and please post the version of puppy that xvesa had those settings on your current configuration

P.S I have email for my name at fat.free.pup@gmail.com
the fourm administrators can keep the threads more organized that way
anyone is welcome to write

thanks, have fun and build what you want
