Try a different video driver. So if you are using gxine, look at the advanced video options.rjbrewer wrote: Has 2 minor issues:
1. The intel 855gm graphics will only play video "files" with correct
color balance using xvesa on the latest kernels.
ravensrest: The modem may be one of those winmodem, software modems.. They aren't too good even w/ windoze..That is why I use the 3Com, pcmcia modems or better yet the LAN/modem combo card.. Puppy uses it no problem.ravensrest wrote: One of the reasons for keeping Windows is that this computer has a built-in analog modem that lets me use standard phone lines when necessary. Never got it to work under Puppy.

I'll give it a shot mike. Thanks. I'll let you know how it comes out.mikeb wrote:yes I did that too as there is no built in ability it seems.Since this laptop has only 5 minutes battery life, power failure is an irritation as the power lead also tends to fall out from time to time. So I figured out how to write a script to run every 30 seconds to monitor the power and pop up a dialog warning of power failure, before the battery gives up. This has saved me on several occasions.If there is a spare usb socket and a spare usb format it as swap and plug it in before booting and see if it gets detected..How do I go about that mike? I'm always afraid when I go messing with making partitions.
now I'm hyjacking thee thread and will get carted off by moderators in white coats whilst screaming I love vista and want bill's babies...

Puppy should work with most/all built-in laptop modems. However, 4.3.1-k2.6.30.5 contains an erroneous version of the driver for many (SmartLink) such modems. The k2.6.25.16 version of 4.3.1 contains the correct driver. If you have either the 2.6.25.16 or 2.6.21.. iso, from it copy /lib/modules/all-firmware/slmodem to the same place in 4.3.1-k2.6.30.5.One of the reasons for keeping Windows is that this computer has a built-in analog modem that lets me use standard phone lines when necessary. Never got it to work under Puppy.

That's what I had....you need to edit or obtain a /etc/X11/xorg.conf to do what you want and google is the place to look. I was lucky as the suse driver and its xorg.conf enable the external screen as puppy only supported vesa.Right no, my external monitor just displays the same desktop displayed on my laptop's monitor.
