Has anyone got ati_fglrx-10.10-k2.6.31.14-w5.pet (in the PPM repository) working? I suspect that it is too new for Wary's Xorg 7.3+ and I'll have to compile fglrx 9.8 if I want Catalyst.


I installed the ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run driver on
this laptop in wary 098. I had the kernel_src-2.6.31.14-patched.sfs
and the wary_devx_098.sfs files installed and I installed it by
exiting to the prompt and running the file.

I also installed a qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0-i486.pet that I
compiled in quirky 1.3 (I think), so I can start the catalyst control
center in the terminal now.

Edit: I did use the ati_fglrx-10.10-k2.6.31.14-w5.pet in 098 on this desktop, guess I didn't need that qt pet on the laptop.

Edit: On this desktop I used the Video Upgrade Wizard to download and install the ati_fglrx-10.10-k2.6.31.14-w5.pet, on the other desktop I had the pet on a flash drive.

Oh dear. Am I barking up the wrong tree? The system that refuses to start, at all, runs on ATI chipset with an ATI-Xpress200 video system. Not so much a show stopper but the show never gets underway. Very rare to see KP with a Puppy. Even more ominous - no relevant comments!

Good news. I install the first pet you posted and it fixed the NO CARRIER problem. Smile
The first attempt to dial out failed but it did dial and connect anyway, not like before when it instantly went into that repeat NO CARRIER loop.

Now the bad news. The above drivers fail as follows:

1. hsfmodem (hsfpcibasic2) - locks up the computer while starting a connection. This is the hybrid version, so I plan to compile and try the "full" version to isolate the problem, somewhat.

2. slamr - For a built-in (8086:2486) modem, when connecting, retries on "no carrier" response intefinitely!

3. slusb - Spews trace messages and fails to set up its port, but does not kill the PC. I attach the message log as evidence, in case someone can make sense of it.

So far, my DGC/ACM USB modem and PCtel, ESS and Lucent PCI modems work. I assume the Ageres and Intels still do, but have not verified with 098.

Now I am confused!
The last pet you posted fixed my no carrier problem and my modem IS an:

Just got around to FULL install on 754 board with on-board video (SiS Mirage1) - flawless!
...except, sound is muted, initially.
So, the 939 board with ATIXpress200 remains an enigma.
Hoping to get around to testing on older systems this week or next.

Yesterday I downloaded Wary098 and copied the iso files to a spare partition (frugal install). Modified menu.lst and rebooted. Came up running on a system consisting of

2.53 MHz Celeron (Pentium 4)
512M memory
Radeon 9200 video
Via 8237 audio

Immediately connected to the web, watched Pirates of the Carribean on DVD, listened to some tunes, opened Abi-Word, Gnumeric, Inkscape, and Mtpaint. All OK, though I didn't try to exercise the last four. Rox and Pfind function well. Created and deleted some icons, changed JWM themes. Mounted a drive or two. But it is still early times.

I did notice that Wary seems to be as fast or faster than any Puppy I've used since 3.0. About the nicest "beta" in a while. Nice work, Barry!

Have since installed sfs of Gimp and OpenOffice. They load and perform as expected. Also installed pet of Ace games. Also all OK.

3. MODULESCONFIG - Corrects preference for slamr module.
This is what corrects the problem. The preference was for the wrong name for the module, snd_intel8x0m. With that fix, the sound-card modem driver is used instead of slamr, which is what malfunctions.

Seeing that the modem works now, I went ahead and did a full HD install.
As expected the modem was not found on first boot so I installed that last pet package you gave me and rebooted. I probed for the modem and still no modem, so I started looking around in bootmanager and found that the snd_intel8x0m was not loading so I added it manually and rebooted.
ttySL0 found and working fine!

The dialog appears to choose the partition, sda1 as the default whereas boot off from sda3.

I remember old woof did not show the dialog of partition choice in case booted off from some frugal installed partition.


This has come about because Beem wants save-files in a different partition than what Puppy is installed in. Is he the only one wanting this? -- anyway, I have accommodated this requirement, hope it is not confusing.

Yep that should do it, however I don't think James has a slow connection, all I can put it down to is ibiblio refusing the connection and wget exits. That's what it looked like to me, the download didn't even start.

I have rigorous code in quickpet to prevent this, it's really probably a bit excessive. Maybe just a check that the pet exists would be enough and a "try again later" message for failure.


Well, I have gone the complete paranoid route and written a "heavy duty" file downloader utility. Video Upgrade Wizard and PPM now use it:

Hopefully this will fix all download problems. And of course, my new proxy setup GUI will take care of anyone who connects to Internet through a proxy-server.

Thanks Barry. I see.

Assume i boot off from 'sda3/wary' with 'pmedia=atahd psubdir=wary' boot option.
Wary-098 at shutdown, the dialog shows the partition list where to save.
Hope the default should be 'sda3' in this case.

There is another problem.
If i chose 'sdd1', the USB device, here, Wary may make the warysave in the USB.
But it will not be read at next boot because the boot option has 'pmedia=atahd psubdir=wary'.

Yes, but as far as I see I need to run, if the save file is on f.e. sda2, with psavemark=2. So I don't have flexibility if I want to save to, say, sdb1. Which I could do before. What psavemark= would go with sdb1?

I booted the live cd with pfix=ram
Clicked on the video upgrade wizard and it downloaded the ati pet.
Rebooted and created the save file.
When it got back to the desktop a popup said to exit to the prompt and
type xwin, I did that and the popup appeared again so I ignored it and
clicked on the Nexuiz directory on the hd and started Nexuiz,it works Smile

So the last popup advising to exit to the prompt keeps coming up even
after you've installed the pet and followed the instructions.


I am "flying blind" with the ATI PET as can't test it myself.

Anyway, I found the problem, fixed it and re-uploaded the PET (same filename as before).
