@zagreb

Try to swap kernel and zdrv modules using the kernel and zdrv modules from a later build puppies. Just don't forget to rename the donor zdrv to zdrv_tazpup_5.0.sfs

I found something weird. Ubuntu uses modesetting driver with glamor acceleration for later intel gpu.

@foxpup
May I see also the Xorg.0.log when you lost the keyboard and mouse upon using the generated xorg.conf made by xorg-autoconf?

You must need to install fbdev and vesa xorg driver as a fallback. I wonder why they didn't include those fallbacks on BusterDog & StrechDog?

@enrique How did you get the pci bus id without using busybox lspci applet? Also I made comments on your suggestion, xorg driver is different from kernel module. You cant load kernel module as xorg driver. modesetting or its companion xorg driver will utilize those kernel modules for video cards May...

@foxpup yes you need to restart X On xorg-autoconf script, if an intel video card was made year 2012 or older. intel driver will be selected otherwise modesetting will be selected if its drm kernel module was loaded. Major distros abandon intel xorg driver in favor of modesetting ddx for newer intel...

@BarryK I read your blog about data corruption upon shutdown. I suggest that upon shutdown, just delete the rw_layer from aufs tree and umount the partition where save folder/file is saved (if possible) before poweroff command was executed. Take a look on /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown of woof-ce latest comm...
