did you use the wizard?

To restore a broken xorg, run
xorgwizard
again.

To use the wizard without active internet-connection (by copying files from another computer):

For Puppy 2.02 with a Ati Radeon 7000:

The 3DCC is somewhat complex, using it without internet requires to copy several files.
Download and install the 3DCC itself:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/3D-Control-Center.pup

After that, you will need to download/copy also these dotpups in the corresponding folders, then run the 3DCC again:

/usr/local/3D-Control-Center/resource/26
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/D ... s-K26b.pup

/usr/local/3D-Control-Center/resource/xorg
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/OpenGL.pup
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/OpenGL-B.pup

/usr/local/3D-Control-Center/resource/xorgA
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/XServer/DRI/dri-radeon.pup

/usr/local/3D-Control-Center/resource/xorgB
http://noforum.de/dotpups/X11R6addons/dri-radeon.pup


Now you must add 2 lines to /root/.xinitrc to fix a bug with Gtk+

Add them after the first line "#!/bin/sh":
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS

Then run the 3D-control-center from the dotpup-menu.
Install graficscard manually.
Choose the Module "Radeon 100".

When asked for a "Xorg-Driver: Ati or Radeon?"
Choose Radeon.

If having difficulty w/Radeon proprietary -drivers :
Temp use vesa to get useable desktop:
Manually use command xorgconfig
Then play with ATI settings knowing you have - fallback that works .

"Generic" VESA can give over 1600X1200 unacelerated resolution

the propriatary driver ( 8.25.8 ) does not support the Radeon 7000, just 8500 and newer.

For the 7000 you need the free radeon 100 driver.
