 Serious xorgwizard problem..[SOLVED] |
|
Hi
I have made a full hd install of Puppy Lucid 528 to this old Compaq Deskpro EN from 2000 with 384Mb 133MHz sdram.
The setup worked ok for a long time but now I am only able to start via the originally burned cd. The cd choses automatically the vesa driver. But if I run xorgwizard and choose vesa from the hd it fails. No matter what I choose I can not get back to the original setup 
How can I repair the setup using the live cd which I am using right now

Afaik, the xorgwizard reconstructs xorg.conf. Xorg.conf generates an auto backup file, named xorg.conf.bak if i remember well. The xorg.conf files are in /etc/X11/
You could try renaming the actual xorg.conf to something like xorg.conf.bad. And rename the xorg.conf.bak file to xorg.conf.
Or you could just open xorg.conf.bak as a text and copy all, paste all on xorg.conf.

Hi capicoso
I have already tried what You suggested. I could not get it to work. Then I have also tried to replace the xorg.conf on the hd with xorg.conf made by the live cd. It did not work either

I'm out of ideas ahah 
What error does it throw?
I didn't use full install anymore, but if i remember well you can try to fix the install with the live cd right? I think it's in puppy universal installer, upgrade or something like that. When my full installs got screwed i used to do that on lucid puppy and always saved me.

Hi capisoco
Thank You very much for reply. My Puppy is back again  I also remembered the situation from another machinery. I used univeral installer in the same way as initial experiments and I updated rebooted and this time chose the vesa in xorgwizard and this time it worked
