Hello all, I have installed Precise Puppy 5.4.1 onto my Eee PC and everything is excellent, except the screen. I cannot set it to 800x480 which is the native size. I have 2 black bars on both sides. Is there a way to force 800x480? Thank you, |

 Hello,
Have you tried the xorgwizard to change it from 640x480.. Have you set the correct driver for your (make? model?) vid card? Are you in xorg or xvera? _________________ "Close the "Windows", and open your eyes, to a whole new world" http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/puppyluvr/ http://theplpd.webs.com/

I type 'xorgwizard' into the the console... I launch the Puppy Video Wizard and I have tried both Probe and Vesa. Each one goes from 640x480 to 800x600 and then to larger resolutions. I cannot select 800x480 in there. Is there a way for me to force 800x480 somehow? I just did the auto install so perhaps it did not install the correct driver.. Can I download a new driver? Sorry for the noob like questions! *EDIT* It is an Asus Eee PC 2G Surf.. the GPU is the Intel 915GM it says in Hardinfo |

Hello,
In the wizard there is a "more" button for a full list... _________________ "Close the "Windows", and open your eyes, to a whole new world" http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/puppyluvr/ http://theplpd.webs.com/

ok I loaded xorgwizard, I tried the 3 options available to me.. Probe Choose vesa going through each one I did not see the 'more' button 
I also did not see my 800x480 anywhere.. I tried to alter the xorg.conf manually but for some some reason it seems to ignore the settings I am putting in.. |

Ok I have screenshots of what my xorgwizard looks like.. 
No matter what option I choose I end up with this: 
Perhaps there is something wrong with my setup? |

Hello,
OK, research indicates either a gma900 or nvidia card, IDK, guess it depends on model / country of origin etc... Copy the following, open a terminal, click BOTH mouse buttons to paste it, and hit enter. Attch the file it creates in /root to a post.. 
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf > /root/xorgconf.txt _________________ "Close the "Windows", and open your eyes, to a whole new world" http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/puppyluvr/ http://theplpd.webs.com/

Hello, OK then this will tell if it is loaded..
Same trick paste to a terminal... lsmod > /root/lsmod.txt _________________ "Close the "Windows", and open your eyes, to a whole new world" http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/puppyluvr/ http://theplpd.webs.com/

oook here goes.. it said that .txt was not allowed.. so I changed the .txt to .zip.. You will have to simply change the extension back to .txt to view it, dont try to unzip it!

Hello,
I got an empty zip file... Why is it a zip? Just add a .gz to the name, thats (dot)gz to fool the forum to let you upload it, like I did below... @EDIT... LOL... got ya.. never mind....

Hello,
Your config seems to be missing "boardname" so I wonder which driver is loaded. post the results of: lsmod > /root/lsmod.txt and well see what driver loaded, you want "Intel" in xorg not i810. _________________ "Close the "Windows", and open your eyes, to a whole new world" http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/puppyluvr/ http://theplpd.webs.com/
