How do you know no one tried to boot from live media to verify your problem. Is this more of your 'all-knowing' claims where you somehow are omniscient and know what every person has done on their system and is thinking? I have used live-meda to try to verify your problem. And I did so again further in this post.

Which means no one will be able to help you resolve an issue with your hardware, since we cant replicate it. It's up to you to solve. Sorry, but unless I have your hardware I cant do anything to help since I cant replicate your problem.

I can only assume your 3rd person sarcasm here is intended for me... so I'll just go ahead and respond to it. The ATI installation has been addressed. If you are unable to read the previous posts... I'll direct you to
here and
here.
But I guess you are unable to read and understand what people are saying since its not in a bullet point step plan... So here you go.
1.) Push the power button on your computer
2.) Put your LHP DVD/CD in the CD drive
3.) Boot your system with the LHP DVD/CD in the drive
4.) Wait for puppy to boot
5.) Once Puppy has booted click on the Update icon on the desktop
6.) Download and install the ATI catalyist driver
7.) confirm driver
8.) save and reboot
Now I'm sure you'll come back with some reply about 'that wont work for live media', so I'll go ahead and shut you down right now.
I had a friend over today who has an laptop with an ATI card.
So I decided to fire up a live DVD and install the driver. And guess what... it worked just fine.
But I'm sure you wouldnt believe me without proof... so here goes:
BEFORE ATI DRIVER INSTALL:

AFTER ATI DRIVER INSTALL:

You're Xine issue has not been able to be duplicated by anyone else, so its impossible for us to provide further assistance.
You're ATI driver issue was not reproducable by TazOC (he uses ATI), and even after your sarcasm I still decided to try and help you out and see if I could replicate your problem. I was unable to, so again its impossible for us to provide further assistance.
You've claimed to have
40 years OS development experience. If you cant figure out how to install a driver properly... I dont see how any of us can help you. I've only got 14 years experience in the IT field.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm more than willing to help. But please stop with your grandiose claims about what everyone else is doing and thinking. People here are willing to help, but you've got to be willing to try and help yourself. If we cant fix your problem, you might have to fix it on your own. I seriously doubt anyone on this forum knows the solution to your problem and isnt providing it. This isnt some vast conspiracy against you. So far, the bugs you've mentioned cant be replicated by anyone else... so there isnt much we can do to resolve them.

Please stop with the Martyr crap. I also am amused how you can me irresposible... You'll have to fill me in on that one. I also find the irony of you speaking out against me while at the same time asking for my assistance most amusing. I will continue to offer assistance in spite of how you are acting towards me. If insulting me makes you feel better about yourself... then feel free. Insult away.

But, I have an UPDATE. I just rebooted the Mariner Live Media. I ONLY:
- At boot, I used "lhp pfix=ram,nosfs,pure64"
- Made the normal FirstRUN changes
- Followed normal instructions allowing desktop restart
- Started Xine
XINE Starts!!!
Now, to try to determine the element in the SFS loads that could be causing the Xine issue.
My only need was to see if others had used Live media and were experiencing the issue I find.
If I can nail the Xine issue I will. Now, to try to get better info about the driver loading problem.
I tried to replicated this using live media and Xine still loaded fine. Have you checked the md5 hashs for all your SFS and base SFS? I dont see how, but an errant bit might be causing something to go wonky.
