I compiled the driver using the Puppy 5.0 (Lucid) distribution with its devx sfs file and the kernel 2.6.33.2 source package. This driver should work with Quirky 1.1. However, I have found that normal included open source nvidia driver, nv works well on my Quirky installation. So, I have been using that. (26 May, I found this pet does not install correctly for Quirky 1.1. I have to do some more work. The problem may be due to directrory structure differences. Please use the normal nv or nvidia drivers that are part of Quirky. Also CatDude has posted nvidia drivers in this section of forum for Quirky)
If you are going to try this latest nvidia driver on your system, you should first test it using a frugal installtion with 512 Megabyte save file first. This way you can confirm it works correctly on system and its hardware. This is the first time I have done this.
To complete the installation after the pet has installed:
1. Exit to the console prompt using the shutdown menu
2. Run "xorgwizard"
3. Either use the probe button or the chose button
If the chose button is used, then entry nvidia in the selection box
If the probe button, then select the correct resolution
4. Use xorgwizard test x function to ensure that the x server does work properly
5. Press finish to exit
6. Run "xwin" to re-start the xserver using the nvidia driver.
This package over writes the orginial libglx.so in
/usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/extensions. Normally, the glx module is disabled in xorg.conf, so it is not used. If you want to use glx module, one has to edit line 28 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "load" GLX. One changes the word "disable" to "load". One needs to "restart the x server" using the shutdown menu. Once the pet is installed, the nvidia libglx file will be used and not the original Puppy version.
Thanks to forum member MU, the pet can be found at:
http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/XServe ... 3.2-p5.pet
Update 6/1/210, the above includes glxgears to calculate the frame rate.

Maybe one of the more knowledgeable pet developers can help me out on my next version. How does one add/update information (HTML) to the help menu for the installed applications? I would like to include the nvidia html files for help. Thanks in advance for any help!
I hope this helps.
