With this graphics card, you are always going to have problems with Linux support.
The Vesa driver is probably your best option.
There is nothing wrong with using the Vesa driver. It provides support for the common functions that all graphics hardware have.
Click on Quickpet icon on desktop.
In Quickpet->drivers tab
Run "click here to test your graphics card"
It may suggest some other or added driver to use.
I assume this is because it tries to do a good boot to desktop, guessing at what graphics driver to use. Sometimes it comes close to working and other times it fails.very often I even get no boot prompt to start xorgwizard
At the Puppy boot screen, hit F2 for boot options screen.
The Puppy boot screen does not stay up for long, so you do need to be quick, in pressing F2, to get to boot options.
After you do get booted to desktop. When you shutdown, make a save file. Next time you boot, the save file will be used, with your custom settings.

There is time needed to connect and establish setup.
