1. Boot off of CD with the following option: pfix=nox
2. When the machine comes up, run xorgwizard (Must do this twice in the command prompt for it to come up)
3. Choose to select your own driver ---> Trident
4. Select the default resolution --> 1024X768
5. Select OK to exit the xorgwizard (Do not test resolution or you will be stuck at the black screen)
6. Edit the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ (I used vi as the editor)
7. Add the following lines in the xorg.conf file:
Code: Select all

Notes:
The machine should now boot up as normal. Make sure you save your personal puppy save file so these settings get used again on the next boot. I was able to do a successful frugal install after that to the laptop's hard drive.
