Xorg Out of Commission
I downloaded the Puppy 4.00 ISO, burned, and booted it. For some reason, Xorg isn't working at all. I tried Xvesa, which works, but I don't know how to get my monitor's native resolution on it (1440x900). I'm pretty sure it's the graphics card, because I had the same card in my Dell and puppy wouldn't start X on it either. The card's an ATI Sapphire Radeon 9250.
I agree with Glenn Beck. Elmo is definately the antichrist.
Hi
I can't find anything for puppy 4.00, but loads of Links for earlier versions
http://www.google.com/custom?q=+Radeon+ ... rt=10&sa=N
Sorry had to break up the link, it messed the thread up

Can you boot the older Puppy, with pfix=ram, run the Xorg Wizard, then look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find out what video driver gets loaded.
In my case, it's this:
Driver "intel" #card0driver
Then boot the Puppy4 CD, again with pfix=ram, run the Xorg Wizard, again find out what driver loads.
If it's the wrong one, edit the file and change to the correct one, start or restart X, and if it fails, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and look through that to see any errors about anything failing to load.
You can view without X running:
# mp /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Then let me know.

try this, Aitch's link.
It is probably safer to provide direct links to the pages you have read rather than the search URL. The google url content is recalculated each time you do the search. In six months time it could easily end up giving a completely different set of results. I appreciate that it is highly likely to be identical later today.
