Good day all.
Like the look of this distro and have tried earlier releases with no success on this old Toshiba portege 7020ct. The only distro I can get to run is Zenwalk so I know Xorg will recognise the video card
Here is relevant section of etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard1"
VendorName "Neomagic Corporation"
BoardName "NM2200 [MagicGraph 256AV]"
Driver "neomagic"
BusID "PCI:0:4:0"

How can I get puppy to get past the xorg and vesa choice screen on the live CD as at the moment it hangs.
I cannot use a USBstick for puppy as there is some problem with the usb port on the laptop

Any experts out there able to help - simple terms for a noob please

Thanks alot

I doubt if it will help as the last entry is about "goodbye sweet laptop"
