First try editing xorgwizard2d:
puppy pfix=ram,nox
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash -t vfat
mp /mnt/flash/xorgwizard2d
edited all the "clear" lines as '# clear'
saved as /usr/sbin/xorgwizard2d and /mnt/flash/x-wiz2d
xorgwizard2d
Puppy Video Wizard window opens after a few seconds
select 'xorg'
the white line and pink line briefly show below the Video Wizard and the screen goes black
played and won a game of solitaire
[ctrl]c doesn't work [ctrl][alt][del] doesn't work cycle power to quit
Next try Xorg -probeonly:
puppy pfix=ram,nox
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash -t vfat
Xorg -probeonly
EUREKA we finally have some hopefully meaningful messages AND an Xorg log file!
I'll attach a picture of the screen (several lines were scrolled off as it ran) and the Xorg log file
Hope this means something to you
Thanks for putting up with me and my psychotic 'puter
Dave
edit something won't let me attach the log file I'll have to paste in in line:
