...elps at all, the Diamond Viper V550 video card reports a version of 1.93E during POST. Tried older versions of Puppy Linux, and ran into other problems. First, the older Puppy tried to load the saved configuration files from the newer Puppy. Once I stopped that, I got this. In Xorg.0.log, 5.3.3 Slacko Puppy says: failed to load kernel module "nouveau" Puppy falls back to the vesa driver, which, while very slow, does work, and at 1280x1024. If I do "modprobe nouveau" I get 7 error messages of the form "WARNING: Error inserting xxx (/lib/modules/3.1.10-slacko_4gA/kernel...

...mails with some (incomplete, and erroneous) attempt to solve the issue. http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-October/022732.html http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-November/022778.html Now the core/graphics.c lss16 parser works as it should. This can be seen i.e. when loading with 6.03 "slacko-5.7.0-PAE.iso" (162MB). It contains a "isolinux.cfg" file, with a "DISPLAY boot.msg"directive. The "boot.msg" DISPLAY file uses the "logo.16" lss16 image file as background image. This ISO image file uses some variant of isolinux.bin version 4.05, and...

...t; --- Been trying to track down the oldest kernel that shows the corrupted display, but have run into further problems. It seems nouveau with the early 3.x kernels does not work at all on this NV04 video card. I think 3.4 is the first version with nouveau included in the kernel? Have tried 3.1 (Slacko Puppy 5.3.3), a 3.4.106 kernel I built on the Arch Linux system with the 2.6.35 kernel that does work, and 3.5 (AntiX Linux 12). Puppy and AntiX fall back to the VESA driver, and Arch with the custom 3.4.106 kernel and X 1.8.1.902 just drops to a text screen. All try to use nouveau, and all give...
