Hi people,

I am completely new to linux so please bear with me.
I just recently installed puppy 4 and then installed openFOAM, the open source cfd program.
when i launch the paraFoam (paraview) , a viewing postprocessing tool to view the results, i get msg in the console window

Xlib:mixing "GLX" extension in display "0.0"

is this the problem with display driver? honestly i dont know what display card i have but it is a acer travelmate 270.

please kindly help me with a instruction on wher to download and how to install the or perhaps before al lthis, how to determine my display card type.

your help is very very much appreciated.

thanks

Lawrence

Hi,

I'm new to puppy. I have a GeForce 6600 and downloaded the nvidia-100-xx files. I installed it using the pup installer.

I tried following further instructions, but I can't find "install_nvidia"

When I restarted xwin, I noticed Nvidia X Server Settings installed, but when I checked my Display settings, I noticed my OpenGL config is still unknown.

What am I missing?

Thanks

I think I got it working. I installed the xorg-dri packages from the package installer. I'm using Puppy 4.00.

Brilliant nvidia drivers. I was struggling to get xorg working with anything other than a generic driver on the HurtMePlenty puppy. Then I discovered your pet which worked perfectly, and now I can use the external monitor as well.

My Laptop is a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ71MN/B with NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS in case anyone else has similar model. The pet I used was: NVIDIA-100.14.19-k2.6.21.7.pet

Thanks very much, I'm off to game land now.

PS: I found it useful to start with Xvesa then
install pet - Exit X - run xorgwizard - restart X

Hi, I am new to puppy. I have puppy linux on a dell latitude d520. So far everything has worked very well and I am very happy with it. However, dual monitors are necessary for my work. When I start xorg the monitors are mirrored. I have looked at what other people's suggestions and tried to install nvidia and enable the "twin view" option. When I install nvidia, i exit out of x and go into xorgwizard. The xorgwizard recognizes two different screens (it asks for the resolution for each) but when x starts (i type xwin) it goes back to the original xorg.conf file.

At the moment, I run puppy from a USB, which may be the problem. I have tried all the different versions of nvidia.pet that are available and none seem to work. Does anyone know how I can install nvidia? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nivida drivers for Puppy 4.1 & 4.2

Is there any chances to get drivers for Puppy Linux 4.2.1. My graphic card is Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT.

Hope it's a Pet package - automatically installed. Puppy didn't look very good by editing xorg.conf. Fonts are tiny and blurry.
