Sorry, that's because I uploaded the xorg.conf after I had changed it to vesa to allow me to start X again. The original xorg.conf (i.e. the one that was there when the problem occurred) was identical except it loaded the intel driver instead of vesa.gposil wrote:shankargopal,
Your xorg.conf is loading the vesa driver, not the intel driver....

Dpup482-b5 testing
Howdy Dev. team, all,
Really like what I see in Dpup, thus far.
Problems:
Wine; no menu entry with 482 nor 4.30 using
both SFS and/or dpup pet.
ATI Radeon driver; tried to dl from Synaptic.
Get errors, 1 of which says 'need to have
'do_initrd' in kernel line?, something as such.
Virtual Box: would the best approach be a new pet,
or install thru Synaptic?
I am using default desktop, no Wbar. Have installed
patches.
Many thanks for your efforts. This should be the best Pup yet.
Sincerely, jw

Hello, jeffy39.
Welcome aboard ! And thanks for the compliments!
I'll try to answer two of your questions. (I've never used VBox.)
Another solution might be to activate your Wine sfs through the bootloader as well as through the "sfs-linker".
Item # 2: I have a Radeon card on this machine, and didn't need any special driver: it worked "out of the box"! How old (or how new) is your Radeon card? A senior dpup dev might want to confirm this, but I don't think you need a driver with dpup's version of Xorg.
Best wishes of the Season, incidentally.

Are you sure your Wine is loaded correctly? To get it working, I had to unpack the sfs in its own directory in $HOME (on an ext3 drive), and then symlink manually the sub-directories at their proper corresponding places in the Linux hierarchy. I'm pretty sure this manual solution will work, but it's a little chore.jeffy39 wrote:Howdy Dev. team, all,

2.14X uses 2.6.18.1 its old but a lot of users really find it stable and haven't complained, plus there are a lot of updated modules for it, thanks to MU and tempestuous, but 2.6.18.8 was used in puppy 2.18 woof and hasn't been all that tested but I guess it was updated up until around a year ago.gposil wrote:I was thinking 2.6.21.7 or maybe the old faithful 2.6.25.16...not sure, I was going to throw it open for discussion...now's as good a time as any....

Just as an experiment in regard to the retro kernel, I dug out my slowest computer....a P3 433 mhz w/ 384 mb ram and no swap. (Presently has a Windows 98 install.)
Running live with 482 Beta 5 right now.......not the fastest but certainly usable. Only using about 40 mb ram at idle too. Full disclosure, its using about 80 mb right now as I post this in Firefox.....
Since Etch has 2.6.18 and Lenny is at 2.6.26.2 I guess somewhere in the middle could work.Depends on how retro you want to go....

To confirm musher0's report... xorg has included the "radeon" driver for awhile. I think the "radeonhd" driver is also included. The "radeon" driver should support most older cards and the "radeonhd" driver newer cards. These drivers are free and open-source. There is also the proprietary driver FGLRX, provided for Linux by ATI/AMD. I'm pretty sure there are .debs in the debian repos fo ATI/AMD drivers (proprietary included) but they will not work with the dpup kernel. The only drivers you can use are drivers compiled for the Puppy 2.6.30.5 kernel. You can compile these yourself but you need the devx installed/loaded and the kernel source (available from puppylinux,com/sources).
More info can be found here http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon
Hope some of this info is helpful.
Cheers

My Radeon 9250 works fine with default xorg drivers and dri also works when libgl mesa installed. I also uncomment rage teathre option in xorg.conf and also force tvout so I can use tv-out with xorg. I can paste my xorg.conf if someone has similar card.

Hi, guys.
To Guy, Mick and dejan555: Thanks for the validations!
To jeffy39: Told ya! We're very modest about it, but this thread IS Puppy User Heaven: one question, four answers! (Now where's the emoticon for the Puppy Angel?)gposil wrote:Dpup has the radeon and radeonhd kernel modules already built-in.

Maybe this post doesn't belong here, but concerning Puppy Angels... found a couple:

But tsk, tsk, they're copyrighted. Shouldn't the Puppy distro have its own Puppy Angel ?

Dpup482-beta5 testing
Howdy all,
@ musher, micko, dejan, gposil,
Thanx much guys for the replies. Been busy with 'interruptions'
thus slow to respond.
Dpup-Xorg is the only pup that works good for me, have to use
Xvesa on the others.
I have a Radeon 9500 Pro. Was mainly concerned about getting
hardware acceleration. I tried XP in VBox under Puppy 430, had very
poor Frames/sec. (1to 3). Wine doesnt seem to support M$'s
Combat Flgt. Sim 2, my favorite game.
I've since removed apt-syn from 482. Still no 'luck' getting Wine menu entry. With 482's ATI support, hoping VBox or Wine will let me shoot down zeros again.
Tried to install CFS2, Wine did get the 'exec', but failed with 'not
enough room on Z drive'. How do I config-create 'Z drive'.
Thanx to all for the help. This 'old dog' (70+) trying to learn new
tricks. Was IBM main-frame ALC pgrmr. for 32 yrs.
Hope all have a great Xmas-new year.
Sincerely, jw

Happy holidays to everyone!
@jeffy39
Type winecfg in terminal that should bring up wine configuration GUI
Also for opengl/DRI acceleration install libgl1-mesa deb from package manager.
