Need better driver for NVIDIA GeForce GT520 (abandoned)
Need better driver for NVIDIA GeForce GT520 (abandoned)
I give up tiring to get the drivers to work in the full install.
I have decided i am trying to get puppy to do things in ways it was never relay meant to and I just do not know what i am doing. may be at a latter date i will give it a another go.
thanks to those who tried to help me.

Installed a new video card an NVIDIA GeForce GT 520.
I was so happy to get rid of ATI Radeon problematic drivers
BUT
look for drivers for Puppy the quick per recommended xorg high so i clicked the button and installed it the desktop is huge 8oo by600 or something like that and that's the larger one of the 2 i can pick from so i reverted to the default driver it is okay and it works but i need better drivers for some of my games
so i searched for the proper Linux drivers and found nothing in the forums so tried puppy Google than regular Google and found
LINUX DISPLAY DRIVER - X86
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-disp ... river.html
but being Linux challenged i haven't a clue how to install it.
hopefully some one already has this and just needs to point me to it if not would some one instruct me as to how to install it or make a pup package out of it for me.
thanks.

How to compile Nvidia driver
Steps to compile Nvidia driver
1. Download the devx and kernel source sfs files for Lucid 5.2.8
2. Put them in /mnt/home and then run the boot manager in the
setup wizard to have them loaded on the next reboot,then reboot.
3. Download proprietary driver for graphics card from:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
and place it in /mnt/home.
4. Logout to the prompt and switch to the directory that the driver
was downloaded to using
5. Compile driver by executing or the similar driver for your card.
6. When it's finished compiling run xorgwizard and choose the nvidia
driver and set the resolution.
7. At the prompt enter to get back to the desktop.

Hello,
If you have tried NV and no joy..
You need to compile the proprietary driver...
From a forum instruction post..
Also, with 3gb of ram a swap is probably never going to be used..
Unless you are using a Pup with Highmem/PAE etc, 3gb is all Puppy can see anyhow... Generally, 1/2 of ram is plenty of swap, so for 1gb, 512mb is fine.. But with 3gb, unless you compile programs while gaming while having 7 browser tabs open while woofing up a new Pup, and have a highmem/pae Pup, your swap use will be 0.. save the space.. 1 gb is plenty..

After this, my sons old machine gets WAY better frame rates than my Intel graphics ever has....From the Murga forum, in case it helps anyone..
How to compile a video driver:
NVidia for my sons Wary...
His machine is a Sony Vaio Desktop
1.4g P4, 128mb ram, 512mb swap
NVidia geforce 400 video card...
How?
Make sure you have about 200mb free space in your save file first..
1 Download the NVidia Linux package for your card.
For his it was :
Nvidia-Linux-x86-93.43.20-pkg1.run
2 Download the devx for your system.
His is Wary 5.10 so wary_devx.510.sfs.
3 Download the kernel sources for your system.
His was kernel sources 2.6.32.28.sfs
4 Enable both sfs files in the bootmanager, and reboot..
5 After rebooting, and making sure both sfs files are enabled..
Drop out of X to the command prompt and run the installer..
For his I typed:
/mnt/home/Nvidia-Linux-x86-93.43.20-pkg1.run
Let the installer do its thing, and watch for any errors..
(If you have the wrong driver, which I did the first time around, the installer scans your card, and will tell you which package you need...)
When it is finished, reboot...
After rebooting, run xorgwizard, and choose nvidia..
Ta-da...

Nvidia drivers in SFS
Have you checked the 'Drivers' corner?

i had not checked the 'Drivers' corner before but just did and near as i can tell my driver is not there i need
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270
and the ones i found there are
nvidia-glx-285.05.09-dpup-2.sfs
I don't think it is the same. but i don't know enough to say for sure.
well i am now tiring to find the kernel sources what ever and ware ever that is to down load and will report back with results.
if only this was as easy as making a consommé or a Mousse

The nvidia-glx-285.05.09-dpup-2.sfs. Driver must be compilied with the same kernel and souce as your pup distribution uses.
The technique described above will work, just download new driver here and follow the procedure described above. Apparently there is a new driver 290.10 for your GeForce 500 Series card that came out 2011.11.22.

Linux Display Driver - x86
Version: 290.10 Certified
Release Date: 2011.11.22
Operating System: Linux
Language: English (U.S.)
File Size: 33.0 MB
now i need to find and Download the devx and kernel source sfs files whatever those are
can any one point me at them
it is relay had to find something when you don't know what your looking for. and i apparently know next to nothing about Linux but I am trying to learn.

You cannot use nvidia-glx-285.05.09-dpup-2.sfs because it is for dpup.
nvidia-glx-285.05.09-2.sfs for Lucid Puppy. You need not compile nor kernel source.
Just load it using SFS-loader(at Menu>Setup>Setup Puppy) and go to X server Wizard(xorgwizard).
there is 290 as jim suggests. You need to compile if you want to use this newest version.
Downloads for Puppy Linux [url]http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html[/url]
i think i am going to compile the newest version.
after much hunting i found
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-5.2.8/
i think it has the the devx and kernel source sfs files
so i am downloading what i am guessing it the the devx sfs files
lupu_devx_528-3.sfs
will report back with results

Loading SFS
One suggestion:
The SFS files cannnot load on FULL installed Puppy by the BootManager.
But you can use the SFS-load.
Right click the SFS file and select 'sfs_load'.

Re: Loading SFS
on to the full install
Right click the SFS file and i don't find a SFS-load.
but i did find one under quickpet and converted the sfs to a pet goin to try it now
next time some one tells me nvidia drivers are better and easier to use with Linux than radon ATI there in danger of a punch in the face.

The SFS-load can run from the main menu, but also the quickpet can do almost the same thing as for the full install.
Maybe you need to reboot PC to enable nvidia driver as for the full install.
Downloads for Puppy Linux [url]http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html[/url]
Still can't get the NVIDIA drivers to work. I don't know what to do i am redy to tape the card to the stump out back and use it for target practice till it is to small to hit or i run out of ammo and i have a lot of ammo
i know it is not the card the windows xp drivers work just fine.
made the driver into a pet with quickpet and have tried the SFS-loader
from the main menu, nether seem to work.
this is what i did
load the driver pet or by the SFS-loader
I don't recall what i did ware and am in mo mood to do it over at the moment. but the rest of the results are the same.
reboot

no ideal what this all is about but dose not look good to me
I too tried to get an Nvidia 520 board to run properly on Puppy version 5.20 and 5.28. The best I could do is get 1080 resolution with a half-inch black border around it. I returned the board and am now running an 8400 video card, no problems. The 520 was twice the performance at half the power consumption, tho.

Have you run the X-server Wizard(xorgwizard)?karm2865 wrote:load the driver pet or by the SFS-loader
I don't recall what i did ware and am in mo mood to do it over at the moment. but the rest of the results are the same.
reboot
run nvidia x server settings
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
EDIT: Ah, you did but got no success. I cannot guess what happened...

nvidia-glx-sdl-285 skiped file
I guess you installed the nvidia sfs twice, from Quickpet and from SFS_load.
You had to uninstall previous install using the Puppy Package Manager before new install.
But anyway your system seems already installed the needed files of the nvidia driver.
Suppose what you need is just to run xorgwizard and choose nvidia.

Does the nvidia sriver work on frugal?

After paying more attention to the information in this post, I went back and
re-purchased the Nvidia GT520 board ("$15 after rebate").
I went to http://182.164.208.244/puppy/opt/ and downloaded the nvidia-glx-sdl-285.06.09-2.sfs
file, then did "Setup > Setup Puppy > SFS-Load on-the-fly" and loaded the sfs file.
I exited to the prompt and ran xorgwizard, then ran xwin.
It looks very nice now, 1080 resolution, no black borders or anything. The colors look good too.
This is all from a frugal setup of Puppy 5.28
One question: I'm ready to fiddle with compiling the source. I loaded the lupu_devx_528-3.sfs file
from ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-5.2.8/ but don't see the kernel source
anywhere. Is it part of the unleashed material? If so, where is the unleashed
file? I see the unleashed files for Puppy Linux versions 2,3, and 4 at ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/
but don't see anything for the version 5 series.
