hi jemima

i was given an 'acer aspire one 722 64bit, with amd radion hd 6290 graphics' netbook as a present, and have been trying to get saluki running on it.

saluki boots to the correct resolution, and i go through the set up, location/time etc, but when it restarts x the screen then gets shifted (so the right and left screen edge appears in the centre!) if i try to ctrl/alt/backspace back to prompt, the screen gradually turns to white, and i can't do anything.

just wondering if you had any ideas about why this is happening.

dpup, racy, precise, slacko, fatdog & lighthouse all exhibit the same turning to white problem. The only puppy that sort of works is lucid, but that doesn't have the correct resolution.

cheers

I believe you will need ati proprietary driver. Have you tried with pfix=nox and choose vesa driver. And then with it compile the ati proprietary driver...which will probably still need the patching for kernel fglrx module to compile.

I have that problem with lucid puppy if I switch to ati graphics of my dual graphics.... ati hd 5650. It works only with ati proprietary driver in lucid puppies.

The console state behavior was same for me....

Yes...it wont compile straight. Flglrx source needs patching. The guide to do that has been posted several times in this thread and there is guide in how to section also....

As I am not certain to which Puppy, or even to any Puppy, the problems I've experienced pertain, I discussed them in detail in the User's thread.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 726#624726
This is just to call attention to that discussion.

Thanks,

Hi there

Can someone tell me which kernel the latest iso is using ie *.021?

I saw that it was based on Wary 5.2, and that is an older kernel compared to Lucid 528.

Also I would like to know how to update the kernel if possible and where I can find the necessary files?

Finally, having tried this out yesterday for thte first time I was impressed and would like to have a go at compiling some applications for this build.

Is the " --prefix=$HOME " to become

" --prefix=/usr "

or the default

" --prefix=/usr/local/ "

Thanks in advance!

maybe something went wrong during compilation steps. doublecheck that fglrx compiles succesfull - commands should give output

or maybe you hardware still need some tuning in xorg.conf

anyway the logs should give some more ideas

just keep trying :)

you have right sources

Code: Select all

# md5sum /mnt/home/kernel_sources-3.2.8-ski.sfs 
a672e9046ea2bb07691eaa0abc47bc67  /mnt/home/kernel_sources-3.2.8-ski.sfs
patching file firegl_public.c resolve the above errors. so what happens when you execute patch command? you should be in /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ directory and dont forget to remove .gz extension
if command doesnt find file, try typing in promt 'firegl_public.c' (without quotes)

hi shevan

it seems to patch succesfully, although there's a few lines after doing ./make.sh

Code: Select all

./make.sh : line 390: [ : too many arguments
./make.sh : line 396: [ : too many arguments
still it finishes patching and aticonfig --initial seems to work

x just won't start after choosing the fglrx driver, even after rebooting

Is there possibly some other driver that needs to be blacklisted in the boot manager so that it doesn't clash with your new one?

just for sure, did you install compiled module to the sys folder with command ./make_install.sh?

Are there instructions somewhere on
  1. how setup to boot alternate kernels at boot-time?
  2. I am wondering whether GRUB4DOS is needed or is CustomBuilder required?
  3. And, if one provided multiple kernels to the builder, would it build a boot-manager with the smarts to select which to use at boot-time?
Thanks in advance
