Maybe a bad driver config .

I'll see if I can take a pic .

The cursor doesn't seem to be scrambled and you can position it and move it just fine. Another mistake on my part, the colors are correct (since the background is kinda rainbow colored, my first impression was that the colors are also out of place), but as you can see, the whole screen... it's like the horizontal sync is off by one whole frame .

I'm booting TazPuppy from a flash drive and the rig is currently running Windows XP. Everything is fine in XP, so it's not a hardware issue.

i replaced nouveau.ko(on my full installed tazpuppy) with one from scpup and now there is no driver loaded
root@TazPuppy:/home/tux# modprobe nouveau
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nouveau': Exec format error

@diditt replacing nouveau.ko is a bad idea. Undo it. Since you are using the scpup kernel and zdrv files. Try to load also the scpup fdrv file, rename it as fdrv_tazpup_5.0.sfs, put it beside the zdrv file and reboot tazpuppy

May I see the xorg configs of your TazPuppy stored at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d?

i made so but i could not run my chrome browser coz of libc.so.6 (required version 2.28 ) - i tried to paste it from my full installed tazpuppy but got segmentation fault error and also tried to paste it into chrome folder - got the same error.. So now i can't recall how i managed to run chrome previously.

@diditt I think you must boot TazPuppy from pristine state and create a new save file.
