Thanks for the suggestions but the problem is not solved. I exited to prompt and typed Xorg -configure . The screen turned from the blueish, yellowish thing (see above) into full black. After rebooting I found the xorg.config.new file. Is there any line that I should pay special attention to? I boot...

I do not know if my kernel line have vga=normal in it. At booting I can see everything clearly. Alt-Ctrl-F2 gives me a similar screen than in the picture. I can not return to the X screen. I see black blank screen. In general if I see the ugly screen as above I can see some changes in case I type so...

Thanks for taking the time to answer! ...did you try Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (to exit to prompt) then try poweroff ? From the JWM menu I chose "exit to prompt" then I got that screen. Then I type xwin (although I can't see what I write) and then the GUI comes back smoothly. If I choose "po...

The best (and only) advice I got comes from IRC. 09:50 genera i assume, Xvesa is ending and giving control back to VESA/BIOS genera and the latte simply doesnt re-initialize the gpu genera i would try Olive and Freesbie But I'd like to solve it in Puppy if possible. Any other tips for debugging, tes...

Unreadable console after closing X

This is what I see after X closure. ("Exit to prompt", "shutdown",etc.) Is there a way to repair it?

But I can't see a letter from it. As I do not see anything from the console I have no idea what replies were there. But I pressed...

Xvesa/Xorg both fails

Originally I chose Xvesa after the full hd install and that worked fine but the console after closing (see "exit to prompt" or "power off") was an unreadable mix of blue, yellow and white pixels. So I decided to change over Xorg. As I did my mouse got some shadows (practically I ...

The Ethernet connection is possible through a Billionton 100Base-TX Ethernet PC Card. None of the network modules of Puppy Network Wizard are recognised as new interface. I success...
