AMD Graphics Card Question
AMD Graphics Card Question
Sorry if this has already been answered I did search first but couldnt find :
Why will my AMD driver not install from Quickpet or Setup?
Dont know if it's the machine or my graphics card but it sounds like a vacuum cleaner, it's much much quieter in that other OS.

Your processor might be constantly running at full speed. Unlike Windows, Puppy usually doesn't enable frequency scaling (adjusting the CPU frequency based on the workload) by default. Use Menu > System > CPU Frequency Scaling Tool to turn it on.BrianXYZ wrote:Dont know if it's the machine or my graphics card but it sounds like a vacuum cleaner, it's much much quieter in that other OS.
Oh, I asked about frequency scaling elsewhere. I just tried %80 and %50... not much difference, if any. Thanks anyway.mostly_lurking wrote:Your processor might be constantly running at full speed.

This pet package should work. Please note that it is a 114MB download.
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... _6.0.5.pet
That should be the same package offered by quickpet unless the graphics card was somehow misidentified.
Make sure you have room in the save file if running a frugal install.
Skami driver repo has a lot of drivers archived for many puppy versions

Thanks I'll give that pet a whirl.
Didn't work unfortunately. Same report as from QuickPet "driver failed to install".perdido wrote:kernel 3.14.54#uname --all
