Use Menu>xorgwizard>xvidtune to make changes in screen position and write them to xorg.conf so they're permanent for that puppy.mikeslr wrote: On the Desktop, booting from CD, using 1024x768 xorg, display is off-centered to the right and missing the top of available screen by about 1/8 inch. I manually adjusted using controls on my CRT. Rebooting into XP, the adjusted offset was not retained; that is XP's nVidia driver centered screen properly. I haven't yet tried an nVidia pet.
There's a catch, you need to rename the modeline name (in 3 places) in the updated xorg,conf from something like "1024x768" to 1024x768blahblah" or "1024x768mikesir" or whatever you like. Otherwise the change is ignored.
gposil already plans to fix this little gotcha so it doesn't require manual renaming.
The NVIDIA driver pets are iffy. Lots of problems reported getting them to work
I'm going to write a How-To for installing the official NVIDIA drivers in puppy. It does require an automatic (simple) compile and typing a few things in the terminal, but basically it's straightforward. People just need instructions on how to go about it.
