SOMEONE ANSWERED THIS. IDON'T KNOW WHO TO GIVE THE CREDIT TO, BUT HERE GOES.
At boot up screen pressF2
Type in puppy pfix=nox
it starts to load and then will give you another opportunity to enter.
At this prompt enter: xorg=setup.old
Then you choose keyboard layout
and then choose VESA and the appropriate screen resolution.
You can choose to test it or not. I did test mine, even though I knew the information. It went through the paces and THEN>>>that blessed little mouse arrow and then...a wonderful desktop.
THANK YOU TO WHOMEVER HELPED ME!!!!




I have a command line to change it in Ubuntu Lucid, but it won't work with puppy5.

I have a Toshiba m35x-s311 with 60gb hdd, 1.5 gigs ram, 1.3mhz.

What can i do to force it to accept intel driver?

This is the line I use in Lucid Ubuntu

i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa

Thanks.

PS. PUPPY 4.3.1 HAD INTELL 885 DRIVER, IT WORKED FINE. THANKS
