Hi Dogs1985

1st make sure to select the correct puppy version, many drivers are kernel specific

I believe nvidia keep legacy support in the latest drivers

btw the laptop uses 6150GO, just 6150 was the desktop version, if I remember correctly

They are up to version 185 or something, but try the highest number [180] and work back [173, 96, etc], if it doesn't work
Package manager will uninstall as well as install
I think you may need the settings module as well

alternately...[see supported products]

when i click on "nvidia x server setting". it display this message

Code: Select all

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.

i edit in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. "nouveau" -> "nvidia" also cannot.

I don't know if localization goes to config scripts, or if they need to be in English/American

It is an overview, which Nvidia or Ati drivers support which chipset.

Thanks Mark

Looks like the 180.44 is the one then

I've downloaded and installed MediaPup, which has k2.6.21.7 installed on my desktop computer.

I can't seem to find the Nvidia drivers for this. I did a search and discovered that for my hardware (Nvidia GEForce 6100) apparently the driver for this is 180.44.

Does anyone know where I can find a pet package to download and install?

hi CRF,

forum member gray has compiled nvidia drivers for puppy3.0 which has the same kernel as that (k2.6.21.7)
