The problem is the different profile-id that is generated by the two wizards.

This is a compatibility issue between the original xorgwizard and my new X-Wizard. I wil try to fix it!

Update updated ...

The naming of the "PuppyHardwareProfile" should now be absolutely identical to that of the original xorgwizard, so xwin will not replace xorg.conf with a new one when X starts.

yup that uses your profile though the xorg.conf doesn't work.
Scary colours blooming over the screen I hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE fairly quickly. Is it possible to cook an LCD, I would cry Wink

it is still using the vesa driver at 24bpp 800x600
Normally vesa works from cold boot 16bpp 1024x768 though restarting X corrupts half the screen

it should be i810, and the screen works well at 1024x768

I know there is an i830 driver but I think it is deprecated

I'm not sure I understood you fully.

Which driver does the newly created xorg.conf use? My testing with your output of lspci and ddcprobe posted earlier in this thread suggests that it should use i810.

I'm sorry, but I cannot test on Intel-hardware myself. So thanks in advance for your help! Maybe you can post the xorg.conf created by the current version of X-Wizard.

it works
Sorry Leachim I forgot to overwrite the original lspci with the one you provided. I now get
Code:
Section "Device"
  Identifier     "device0"
  #model         "Almador Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0"
  Driver         "i810"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier     "screen0"
  Device         "device0"
  Monitor        "monitor0"
  DefaultDepth   24
  SubSection "Display"
    Viewport     0 0
    Depth        24
    Modes        "800x600"
  EndSubSection
EndSection


This works fine and actually displays at 1024x768 which is the maximum resolution of the screen!!!!

well done, thank you

Bugfixed version uploaded

Some drivers didn't like the double-quotes in the hsync- and refresh-attributes. So the wizard now creates lines like
Code:
  HorizSync      30 - 96
  VertRefresh    50 - 160

instead of
Code:
  HorizSync      "30 - 96"
  VertRefresh    "50 - 160"


I also found some old PC with an Intel 810 graphics adapter! So I can now do testing on Intel graphics hardware myself!

Hi Leachim/all

Good to see the wizard is going well, Im taking a bit of a holiday from the cybercafe at the moment so wont be able to do much testing myself for a while. Good to see so many others are chipping in to help with this project though.

Keep up the good work!
