<pre>Thanks for reopening! Deeply appreciated, as is the explanation. A pity that
the other devs have left... loss of interest, I assume?
*ahem*
The function is reproducible. Any version of Puppy Precise (Puppy v. 5.7.1)
works fine. Any version later than that, no video. I have tested with two other
Pups -- X-Precise 2.4 (based on Precise Puppy 571) and LXPup Precise (based on
Puppy 571 Retro) -- both work fine.
I have also tested an odd Pup of ours -- ClassicPup 2.14X Top10 is a highly
updated old dog of a Pup. (Pun intended.) It's based on the final 2.x-series
release, but it's actually capable of running eg Chromium 43 or so. Pretty
amazing. I can confirm that /it/ boots to desktop on that hardware as well... I
would assume that any Pup earlier than Precise 571 would have no trouble, but I
haven't tested that yet.
I have asked the developer of TahrPup to spin me up a version of that Pup which
has no zdrv (external driver SFS, rather than keeping them in/with the kernel)
and the older openchrome driver from Precise Puppy 571. I'll update this to
note what happens when I hear back...</pre>
