Note to esrom02:

I have that graphics card and it is compatible
with all Puppies, so if you're having problems don't
blame the graphics card.

Lupu525 uses the nv graphics driver for this card.
It's the built-in driver.

If you want a bit more speed you can easily upgrade
to NVIDIA-96.43.16_lupu500-k2.6.33.2.pet

available at this site

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/

but this driver won't work with any other Puppy variant
other than Lupu.

I should start another thread for the compiz biz.. I want to build a record of systems that are running it successfully, CPU, graphics card and driver, RAM etc. .. so until I do, can you post those specs. Cool


Maybe this should be on a 5.3.3 thread, but thought I'd share anyways.

I have Compiz running on my computer with these specs:

USB flash drive
Slacko 5.3.3 pae Frugal install
HP Desktop
AMD Athlon X 2 7550 2.5 GHz
nVidia GeForce 9100 chip GPU
8 GB RAM
750 HD

I installed an nVidia driver pet from the Slacko PPM (nvidia-2.95.20-k3.1.10-slacko_paeA-s). Then, I ran the Compiz helper pet, and loaded the Compiz sfs. Not sure what I did to get it working exactly. I restarted X, and I can't remember if I typed xwin or xwin dummy to get it to work. I think something strange happened where the upper scroll bar of the windows got cut off (I had the same problem with installing Compiz on Saluki), and I may have had to restart X, rerun xorgwizard, probe, select resolution, and typed either xwin or xwin dummy. Anyways, I finally got it to work, and made multiple backup copies of the savefile in case I screw up something in the future!

Hmmm... I am also running Precise 5.4.3 (retro) at the moment (Pentium M CPU) and had a problem with CPU (but not ram) suddenly going to 100% and thus freezing the system. Somehow that problem has disappeared on my system. Unfortunately I'm not absolutely sure what it is I added that sorted the issue out for me. I did install the following cpu frequency scaling pet in my attempt to improve matters, and that may or may not have been what worked for me, but that is just a suspicion I have and I don't have time to retest since the problem only arose intermittently also. I'm keeping that pet installed now though, whether it is relevant or not, since all now running smoothly here:
