I am running 4.31, full install on a 800MHz Celeron, 256MB RAM. I have a GeForce2 MX400 card.
I have tried the .pet package with no success. I have also tried the driver from the Nvidia site with the devx431 module using the instructions by Iguleder. Both times from a clean install. My xorg.conf file shows the driver as "nvidia".
When I reboot I am back to the VESA driver although the xorg.conf file still shows "nvidia". When I try to run nvidia-xconfig I get an "unable to parse" error message and it does not run.
When I run nvidia-settings the GUI window pops up but there are no options to change and this is displayed in the console window:
ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension not found on this display.
ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA GPUs on ':0.0'.
ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA Frame Lock Devices on ':0.0'.
ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA VCSCs on ':0.0'.
This is what is returned after running nvidia-xconfig:
Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
WARNING: Unable to parse X.Org version string.
sh: line 1: 4271 Broken pipe PATH=usr/X11R6:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin/X11:$PATH X -version 2>&1
Backup up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
The new xorg.conf is identical to the previous one and still shows 'nvidia' as the driver.
What would be my next step?

....yes,..I tried the original links of this thread, for the nvidia legacy drivers,...but also found out that the links are no longer working. Anywhere to get the nvidia legacy driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.xx (.pet) for Puppy 4.3 ?green_dome wrote:Since puppylinux.asia is no more, I thought I would post mirrors of two files I had previously downloaded. I think they were provided by "gray" originally, but I could be wrong.
