How do I find out what they are? The installation process didn't detect them properly.  It's an LCD screen on an MSI Wind U100. I know the resolution is 1024x600.
Currently, it's running a trial version of XP that the shop put in with no extra charge. :p |

If you kill the display, (by entering Control+Alt+Backspace), then run xorgwizard from the commandline, do either Xorg of Xvesa give you other options? If they do, try selecting, then restart window manager with xwin |

look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for this section
and set vert refresh......most lcd use 60 - 75 htz.....do it manually as it seems the auto detects isn't working. Restart x to test...or there is xvidtune from the command prompt may help mike |

Hmm... @mikeb I could be wrong, but shouldn't I already have puppy installed for there to be an xorg.conf for me to look at? @muggins The other options do not match the resolution of the monitor. |

katrina, do you mean that XP is what is running on the computer now? You haven't tried to install Puppy at all? If so, can you boot Puppy from a CD? |

what version of puppy are you trying with I'm not certain but I think support for your display has only just been included in the 4.1 series which is still in beta _________________ Will contribute: community website, screenshots, puplets, wiki, rss |

@Flash Yes, XP is running on it now. I can boot from my LiveUSB, but I get stuck at the Puppy Video Wizard. It doesn't recognize my screen, so I have to input horizontal and vertical frequencies... which I don't know.
@HairyWill Trying with Dingo. Should I also try with Xvesa? |

The frequencies of some monitors can be adjusted on the monitor. |

I think continue anyway and switch to console (ctrl+alt+f2) and then vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the refresh rates manually, i have done something similar with my old crt 800x600 monitor |
