I am refurbishing an ancient Fujitsu-Siemens S Series Lifebook. I have installed Slacko 6.3.0 on a separate partition, leaving the original Windows on the other.
My problem is that the default screen resolution is 800x600 pixels, leaving an inch-wide black border at the edges of the screen. I should be able to get 1024x768 because Windows manages that. Unfortunately, these dimensions are not available in Puppy Setup -> Graphics/Screen -> Change Screen Resolution. There, I can only get 800x600 and (shudder) 640x480.
According to sys-info, the video chip is a "Trident Microsystems Cyber 9525". The output of xrandr on the command line is:
Code: Select all
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
