But Nouveau did work with it, at elast somewhat, in the later 2.6 kernels. If it helps at all, the Diamond Viper V550 video card reports a version of 1.93E during POST. Tried older versions of Puppy Linux, and ran into other problems. First, the older Puppy tried to load the saved configuration files from the newer Puppy. Once I stopped that, I got this. In Xorg.0.log, 5.3.3 Slacko Puppy says: failed to load kernel module "nouveau" Puppy falls back to the vesa driver, which, while very slow, does work, and at 1280x1024. If I do "modprobe nouveau" I get 7 error messages of the form "WARNING: Error inserting xxx (/lib/modules/3.1.10-slacko_4gA/kernel/drivers/.." where xxx is: button wmi agpgart drm ttm drm_kms_helper nouveau Tried the debug boot parameters you suggested, with Slacko Puppy and Tahr Puppy but they had no effect. There is no debug subdirectory in /proc/sys/kernel. No doubt the stock Puppy kernel does not have debugging included. Suppose I'll have to build my own kernel to get that, which means a good bit of work.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
