I tried pushing Ctrl + Alt + all of the F keys individually, to no avail.
Am I missing something? Or is this a bug. I don't know, because that's just the state I'm in. But I figured I'd share this with you all anyhow.

but when you go to the full screen terminal
you close down the X-windows system
Wouldn't that get you away from the 'Puppy just works' philosophy? Or might it be possible to have some sort of wizard run as part of the installation process, which would automagically download the right dotpups for whatever hardware it saw? How would that work for the live-CD version of Puppy? After all, to me the live CD is the main attraction of Puppy. It's all I use. I haven't installed Puppy to my hard drive, although I do have a large pup001 file on my hd. Upgrading to the newest version of Puppy is as easy as burning the new iso and booting it.bladehunter wrote:ditch the kdrive xserver....have a min install of XFree86 or XOrg just to support vesa then have extra modules as dotpups...eg i810 i815....<snip>
Well considering kdrive doesn't support i810 or i815 above 800x600 it's just about the same except more easily extended....At the moment I'm running a modded version of 1.0.4 where I deleted ALL of the original X stuff, just leaving the fonts and installed XFree86 by hand...(with just vesa,i810 and neomaigc drivers) usr_cram.fs is up by about 8meg and I've allowed 16MB for the initrd...but I was able to get up to 1600x1200 on the machine I have the i810 gfx chip on.......I've had it all the time but it was doing duties as a router\firewall\access point...tho now I'm looking at trying to reduce the usr_cram.fs by striping some binariesbladehunter wrote:
