Thanks again. I have probably downloaded the Skype and Dropbox from their respective websites.
Dropbox 1.6.2_i386
Skype ubuntu lucid 4.3.0.37
I will try reinstalling via Quick.
Lightworks site mentions problem with generic video drivers, so I thought it best to check there first.
My other laptop with Racy does have the intel driver installed, but it's not the same chipset.

can you post you /var/log/xorg.0.log after trying the new xorg.conf.
if you rename it to xorg.0.log.gz it can then be added to the post as an attachment

i visited the lightworks site and can only see a 64bit.deb for linux?
if you've installed that it won't work on 32bit operating systems! or is there a 32bit version?

It is in development, but it is still alpha quality.autumnleaves wrote:PS. Will there be a 64 bit TahrPup?

There are some other versions of Puppy that are 64bit.
Look in the Puppy projects section of this forum.
Some you will see are still in alpha or beta status and still being developed.
Fatdog64 is the one that is well developed and the main Puppy 64bit version.

64 bit is kind of a new thing for Puppy.
Has not been much of a need, for support, until recently.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Have you tried this?

SNA issues
From man 4 intel:
There are a couple of backends available for accelerating the DDX. "UXA" (Unified Acceleration Architecture) is the mature backend that was introduced to support the GEM driver model. It is in the process of being superseded by "SNA" (Sandybridge's New Acceleration). Until that process is complete, the ability to choose which backend to use remains for backwards compatibility.
SNA is the default acceleration method in xf86-video-intel. If you are experience issues with SNA, try using UXA instead, which can be done by creating an X configuration file containing the following:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Glamor can be used instead:Code: Select all
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Code: Select all
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" EndSection

the wizard will always show modesetting as the kernel picks the driver in the newer kernels.
the correct driver is loaded, it's just that you may not be getting full acceleration
from your xorg.0.log (lines 232-235)
glxgears runs so you should have direct rendering, but just slower than dri2, check with
should say direct rendering: Yes
try running google earth .... does it fire up and perform ok?
also check your /var/log/xorg.0.log after trying chillinfarts xorg.conf and see if dri2 is loading. you could also try the one i posted again but remove the "Option "DRI" "True"" line

Thank you for your efforts on my behalf, but we seem to be getting nowhere. Unfortunately it appears that the screen does not support DRI2, and whatever driver is being used cannot handle any advanced graphics. Will I encounter the same problem with other versions of Puppy and even other flavours of Linux?
if you find a puppy (or other linux) that works ...try using its xorg.conf in tahrpup

I tried running Racy 5.5 which loaded with the intel driver, but the xorg.conf comments out the Device section with a note to the effect that the processor would be recognized automatically (or something to that effect). Using this Xorg.conf, I tried starting Earth, but it did not load and the mouse froze. On subsequent boots with the same file the mouse remained frozen.
Please keep me informed of any developments as I really like the flexibility of Tahr, but would naturally like to have a working 64 bit version.Thanks
