Harryc,
good to hear you were successful. I think Richard did all the hard work of getting xorgwizard to recognise the tridents. I'm curious how much RAM you had though? If you open a console and type free, what does it display?
Tecra/Protege stops booting at Xvesa and Xorg (SOLVED)
Hello
harryc or rerwin , can you take a look at my post?

Hi everybody,
I'll try to relaunch this old thread…
Tried to install puppy 5.3.1 slacko today on my girl's Toshiba satellite 1805 with (wow!) 1GB of RAM.
As I expected it would fail when probing the xserver. As I have a working ubuntu (but: no hardware acceleration, that was broken sometimes around ubuntu 7), I mounted the hdd and copied the (known good, exept hardware acceleration) xorg.conf to puppy's /etc/X11. startx or xwin failed both.
I do attach ubuntu's the xorg.conf here - maybe somebody will find something:
AFAIK the is crucial on that machine.
As this thread has become very long: I coudnt really get clear where the most recent advice can be found. Could someone give me a hint? - NB.: Is it still valid for 5.3.1?
And another thing: ubuntu needed kernel parameters
not to hang during the boot procedure. Looks as if this were not necessary for puppy.
BTW.: Tried puppy on a 160MB RAM PIII today - awesome!!!!
Greetings,
Wolf
