Bionicpup64 7.9.5 of xxxphilb

I compiled Nvidia driver 340.107 for the distro and got the subj. (Mouse and keyboard hung) after rebooting.

But after unpluggin and plugging mouse and kb I got them working

So the solution I found on Arch wiki was like this. We have to disable evdev (Xorg input driver) in xorg.conf that causes this problem:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
...
    Option	   "AllowEmptyInpu" "False"
    Option	   "AutoAddDevices" "False"
...
EndSection

I've also added a section "InputDevice" from the older xorg.conf but possibly it isnt needed.

So nvidia driver is loading, mouse and keyboard works but there are some problems with libGL* libraries. glxgears says ELF class is wrong... ((

The puppy version is bionicpup64 7.9.5?
That is the latest release and the one to be using.
Have you done Quickpet>Info>Bionicpup updates?

Did you get the 64 bit version of the Nvidia driver?

You are sure that is the correct driver for your hardware?
The one Nvidia web site recommends?

I have had the same issue repeatedly with various Pups. I have found that at the end of the compile process Nvidia asks to re-write it's own xorg.conf file. Don't do that, and then run Puppy's xorgwizard and select nvidia and the keyboard works.
