Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[ezeze5000]

I have an old Toshiba laptop with 160mb of ram
and the video chip is a chips and tech 65555 pci (windows)
Knoppix 3.3 says it is ether a ct65555 or a f65555 HiQuPro rev c6

Puppy boots fine until you get to the video setting where you let it know
what resolution you want to run, then it hangs with a blank screen.

Here is a googled link I found but it is a little beyond my skills right now.

http://www.fifi.org/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/X11R6/man/man4/chips.4.gz

I sure would like to get puppy to run on this laptop.

Any help would be appreciated

I think I may have posted this in the wrong part of the forum the first time.

I hope to eventually get to the point where I can write scripts and compile
programs and actually understand what I'm doing.

Hey thanks for the tip, this version of puppy runs real good on this old
laptop.


Now if I can only get this PCMCIA wireless card to work


Linksys wireless-b wpc11 ver4

[Guest]

It does ? Works straight out of the box ?


Cool....


run
#cardctl idnet
#lspci -n

and post the results of both
I'll take it from there for you

[ezeze5000]

OK here are the results


I sure hope you can make heads or tails of this.

Gak! Next time you post a "screenshot," could you first use mtPaint to crop and resize the image (Image->Resize Canvas) so it is not so large? Thanks.

"Even a blind man could read this". Maybe ezeze is targeting us old geezers.
Just kidding

Thanks for the printout ezeze.

Ok here you go.




Next time just copy the results and type them in...lol

Anyways the wiki has info about getting wireless with ndiswrapper up and going (maybe under pcmcia) or serach the forum it has been discussed numerous times.Obviously untar the tar ball so you end with
/etc/ndiswrapper/net8180
