Sorry for the double post. The forum had bogged down so I pressed submit again without realizing.
Just for information.
I've just tried Mark's Pet with my X1600 card (I think this is an R5xx chipset) in Puppy Stardust (2.6.30.5 kernel) and it gives 2 and 3D acceleration. MPlayer works with "Xv" output and full screen and "glxgears" gives over 2700fps.
I have the icon problem others have reported but I can live with that as I've "been all round the houses" trying to get this card to work fully with this Puppy and this is the only driver I have found that does it.
Thanks again Mark

First off... i've read the following threads:

Has anyone had any luck with using 2 screens with this driver and xorg version?
Here is the situation as is:
1)Boot laptop with nothing attached. Xorgwizard detects a single monitor running at 1280x800. (If I plug in another monitor to my VGA port nothing happens)
2) Boot Laptop with external screen already attached via the VGA cable and run XorgWizard. In this situation Xorgwizard sees one monitor at 1024x768 (but will display on both screens as a clone).
In both situations the xorg.conf files are exactly the same, except for the change of resolution. (It does not list Monitor0 and Monitor1 that people show in their xorg.conf files in the other threads.)
I'm running LightHousePup right now, and Ive noticed that if I run KDE, KDE will auto detect the 2nd monitor without having to run xorgwizard however it wont extend the desktop it only will clone the screen. The KDE settings panel mentions that i dont have the 'module' I need.
I thought perhaps this was a KDE thing, however... I've not been able to figure anything out there, so I'm checking this route.
When I run xrandr with nothing connected to the laptop I get:
With my external monitor attached I get:
Any ideas anyone?

Hi,
I tried dpud 484beta on my AMD 3600+ desktop. It is real cool.
I am trying to use it now on my LX800:
AMD LX 800 500Mhz
Chipset CS5535
RAM 512
Monitor:
LG 1643 C LCD 15.5"
I am having problem configuring the Xorg. After initial boot up, when we arrive at the Keyboard/Language/ etc option the screen just has some yellow lines or the top of the monitor. I cannot get to see any config options at all. So I just press enter several timesand land up with DPUP running 600x480. Running xorg from there too does not help.
I downloaded :
xf86-video-geode-2.11.8-q1.pet from /xf86-video-geode-2.11.8-q1.pet.
Need help to know how to configure xorg for my system (LX800).
I have been able to get the the resolution up to 1024x768 but only at 16 bpp after I installed the drivers xf86-video-geode-2.11.8-q1.pet. This too I did by doing enter presses counting the sequence from the dpup boot I did with with AMD 3200+. The configuration screens in Xorg are all garbled.
How do I get them to show up and configure the resolutions and colour depth correctly. Even when I shut down the machine, I get a garbled screen. Please help. Regs.

Thank you for the reply. I did try Zarfy. It is able to start from the highest resolution I am able to get with Xorg and offer choices for changing to lower ones. It offers no option to change to a higher resolution. Dual screens are not what I need. Can you tell me if there is any way to get Dpup run with a better Xorg or Xvesa. Lupu Xorg works well for me. Thanking you....

Hey Vmemmanuel,
The Zarfy suggestion was actually to Q5sys, the fellow who posted just above you
As for your actual. problem, sorry, I don't really have any solutions. Whenever I've had a problem with garbled screens I usually just change Pupplets till I find one that works.

I cannot get this to run opengl or any kind of 3d acceleration, I tried xorg and vesa and nothing works, ive been trying to play Assult Cube and im getting like 1 frame every 5 seconds with everything at the lowest settings, when I try to run it at 1078, it crashes completely and falls back to console and I have to "startx" all over again, , I know my machine is old, but its 3ghz Socket 775, so its not THAT old, lol, and I know this thing is capable of countr strike /quake III /Unreal level y2k FPS, coz it does so just fine in XP, but something isnt right, any suggestions? Im glad I found your post I will try this and see if it works.
