Have you rebooted since installing the Nvidia driver? If it still doesn't work, then uninstall the Nvidia driver and install Xorg_High and try glxgears again.# glxgears

Yes, I saved the install update to DVD before going to bed. I then booted from that this morning.playdayz wrote:Have you rebooted since installing the Nvidia driver? If it still doesn't work, then uninstall the Nvidia driver and install Xorg_High and try glxgears again.# glxgears

I guess everybody knows about glxgears, but it was new to me! It did not run. Now it does.
So it looks like the 521RC Drivers test is giving the wrong advice for a Core i3:
When I go to Quickpet v4.3, Drivers, "Click here to test your graphics card" <button>,
I get a results window labeled "Graphics" which says:
"For your Intel video card, GeForce 6800 LE we think the best add-on driver is Lucid511_nvidia-260.19.12 driver. (...)"
That is wrong, and did not happen in 256 or 257.
Installed Lupu 521 RC
Everything is fine except that rtl8187 driver in Puppy has no punch like when i am in windows
It is like, i can connect to a particular access point/ router but I cannot browse. Although it connects and i can browse also when i log into Windows using the same usb adapter.

DNS change
I seem to remember that JameBond made a PET for DNSMASQ earlier this year. This might be useful for your needs.chrismt wrote:I was wondering if there is DNS changing utility available.
Edited: After review, this might be an overkill. It does so much more and requires configuration file changes that are probably not setup for your needs.
Hope this helps.

Well, originally it was a fresh install as an ISO burned to DVD. It was the fresh install which recommended the nvidia, which I then installed. Then we communicated and I removed the nvidia and installed the Xorg High, which is where I am now, as I write this.playdayz wrote:Yes. Was this an update or a fresh install.

If I go to Quickpet v4.3 now, under the changed and working driver, I still get the wrong video detection and wrong recommendation. Fresh or unfresh, that has not changed.
Lupu 521 RC
I noticed when I installed the latest Seamonkey from quickpet it said it would put it in the Document category when in fact it put it into the Internet one as it should. The PET package probably needs fixing as it might be confusing for some.
I also noticed the Seamonkey HTML editor is under Documents.
Otherwise it's all working very nicely here.

Where did the Retrovol icon go?
I have a frugal install of 257 - 5.21 later today..
I reduced the volume to zero and after a reboot, the Retrovol icon has disappeared from the tray. This has happened twice. How do I retrieve the icon? Is this unique to me? Will this happen in 5.21?

Forgot to add that my sound is now muted and I don't know how to fix it...

@Sage, please explain the dictionary comment, does it relate to Eudora? or 521 as there is nothing been mentioned in the Eudora Bugs Topic about it, else I would have already chased it up.Sage wrote:EudoraOSE1 running nicely - always the favourite of professionals; downside is I'll have to adjust it's defective dictionary one more time!

Can you do one more thing please? Open a terminal and enter lspci and then copy the VGA Compatible Device line to a message. (To copy from a terminal left-click, drag to select and then *middle-button* to paste.)"For your Intel video card, GeForce 6800 LE we think the best add-on driver is Lucid511_nvidia-260.19.12 driver. (...)"

Yes. Was this an update or a fresh install. If it was an update can you do a fresh install, with pfix=ram? Thanks.
Folks, the GeForce 6800 LE is listed as a nvidia 0x00C2 in my specs sheets, not Intel so the nvidia driver I think would be right!"For your Intel video card, GeForce 6800 LE we think the best add-on driver is Lucid511_nvidia-260.19.12 driver. (...)"

@RandSec, can you go here:

Choose "VGA Compatable Controller"
"Put" what appears in the box below into your response, it may help.

If it is *really* an nvidia and not an error in the look-up tableFolks, the GeForce 6800 LE is listed as a nvidia 0x00C2 in my specs sheets, not Intel so the nvidia driver I think would be right!
I think it is probably an Intel chipset and the Xorg_High will work to give Open GL (GLX Graphics), but the Nivida pet would install but not do anything.
However, if it is an nvida chipset, then the nv driver will work with Xorg_High, just not very well. The Nvidia pet would also work, though, in that case.
For anyone interested the same is true of radeon graphics from ATI. Xorg_High will work as an open source solution, and work well enough to use--but not be able to do some things, Really Slick Screensavers, for instance. But the ati catalyst driver does it all.
