Hi All,
new card problem,
Had a nvidia Geforce2 MX 440 which I had running ok with the nvidia drivers. Now have updated to a nividia 6600GT.
Upon rebooting xorgwizard came up I selected my normal settings. Then nothing. Rebooting it says loading settings from xorg.conf for about 20 seconds then fails back to command promt.
I've tried lots of combinations of editing / deleting / copying from a new installation but still the same. I want to get this installation working again as its my main work one.
So can anybody tell me how to get back to default graphics or which files to delete to force a start again.
DC
P.S. xvesa does not work either

NVIDIA-964301-k2.6.21.7.pet works for my NVidia GeForce 5200 FX [PCI ID 10DE:0322] thank you
I think I choose not to have it update my xorg.conf
I got dumped at the prompt
xwin
bzflag seems nice and quick with all the shinies turned on
I'm now trying to play flightgear I think I'm going to need a lot of practice

Tried installing nvidia-100.14.11.pet on a HP laptop, running 3.01...
Didn't work...got this in the log:
Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted by command line option.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this means
that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.
ERROR: Unable to find the development tool `cc` in your path; please make sure
that you have the package 'gcc' installed. If gcc is installed on your
system, then please check that `cc` is in your PATH.
Thought gcc is part of the package?? so any ideas?
TIA

the drivers in the .pet are precompiled so something is wrong... you should not be getting that message unless you were actually trying to rebuild the drivers from source

I'm having another problem with the drivers. I've got this old riva tnt2 on an old amdk6.
The drivers( NVIDIA-718601-k2 ) install ok, but when i try to restart the xserver, I get the nvidia logo, and when the wm (jwm) starts loading up, x freezes. I'm still able to move the mouse on the screen but that's about it. Nothing actualy loads up, not even the pinboard, just about half of the taskbar, without the tray. I can't exit x, or do anything because the keyboard and mouse clicks aren't working.
This happens only when I use the nvidia drivers. Right now i am using the nv drivers, xorgwizard reverts the "driver" in conf to these.

I'm by no means an expert, but don't 3.x and 4.x puppies use the same kernel? I think that means they can use the same driver package.Paul-B wrote:And what of new drivers for Dingo, any news on that?

I have this current .pet running my 4.0 puppy and it DOES work for me. No more refresh lines in my movies anymore.

Hi,
I'm new to puppy. I have a GeForce 6600 and downloaded the nvidia-100-xx files. I installed it using the pup installer.
I tried following further instructions, but I can't find "install_nvidia"
When I restarted xwin, I noticed Nvidia X Server Settings installed, but when I checked my Display settings, I noticed my OpenGL config is still unknown.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Perfect for GeForce 8400M GS
@ gray
Brilliant nvidia drivers. I was struggling to get xorg working with anything other than a generic driver on the HurtMePlenty puppy. Then I discovered your pet which worked perfectly, and now I can use the external monitor as well.
My Laptop is a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ71MN/B with NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS in case anyone else has similar model. The pet I used was: NVIDIA-100.14.19-k2.6.21.7.pet
Thanks very much, I'm off to game land now.

PS: I found it useful to start with Xvesa then
install pet - Exit X - run xorgwizard - restart X

nvidia on puppy 4.2.1
Hi, I am new to puppy. I have puppy linux on a dell latitude d520. So far everything has worked very well and I am very happy with it. However, dual monitors are necessary for my work. When I start xorg the monitors are mirrored. I have looked at what other people's suggestions and tried to install nvidia and enable the "twin view" option. When I install nvidia, i exit out of x and go into xorgwizard. The xorgwizard recognizes two different screens (it asks for the resolution for each) but when x starts (i type xwin) it goes back to the original xorg.conf file.
At the moment, I run puppy from a USB, which may be the problem. I have tried all the different versions of nvidia.pet that are available and none seem to work. Does anyone know how I can install nvidia? Any help is greatly appreciated.
