supported cards:

You need a HD2000 or newer, older models are not supported by Catalyst 9.7/9.8!
This is for kernel 2.6.29.6 only, and does not work with older Puppys!
If your card is not supported, please try the older driver 9.3:

You need more than 100 MB free diskspace to install it, and it does not automatically check, if you have enough
The installation requires 2 steps:
1) install the pet
2) exit X, then type:
xorgwizard
There, select the Ati catalyst driver.
Step 2 uses an adapted new xorgwizard from Newyearspup, it will extract a archive that I made, and delete files, that might conflict with the driver.
NOTE:
If you do not use a US keyboard, you might not have your custom layout any more.
To fix that, you should modify the file /root/.xinitrc.
Add there after the line "#!/bin/sh" a new line, so that it looks like:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -layout `cat /etc/keymap | cut -f1 -d.`

9.8 no longer needs this patch.
