I noticed 4.4. uses x.org ver 1.3.0, where quirky is using ver 1.7.1. I use X24 with all other distros incl 4.4.
Yes, it's using the radeon. I built xf86-video-radeonhd-1.3.0, but it didn't work. Probably easiest just to use VESA, which gets good resolution and flash video.rjbrewer wrote:

There is a Dell fix for the problem; the "Microsoft Speedstep fix for
WinXp"; at Dell support homepage, drivers and downloads.
Look in puppys' system >hardinfo > processor, to see what speed you're
running at.
With Wary 020 I get the the most and best xorg and vesa
resolutions of any puppy I've ever tried.
It also lets me step down my cpu speed. With it now set at
1.4ghz max it stays below the temp. warning always. As good
as my 4.1.2 install in most cases.
edit;
Think you have ATI radeon 9000 graphics.
I appear to have the same on my Thinkpad R40.rjbrewer wrote:Some Dell laptops (including the d600) can get stuck at their lowestjpeps wrote:It works with VESA and only get's jerky with X24.

So at low cpu load the freq should be max, which I never see. So I have the impression that frequency scaling isn't working that well.
EDIT
As for running a youtube video, I have more jerky, the lower the cpu speed with the radeon driver in use. (ATI radeon mobility 7500)
When I use the vesa driver, jerky is almost gone.

Yes; I know.Béèm wrote:Beware.rjbrewer wrote:Xorg or Xvesa makes no difference.
Xvesa is not the same as vesa.
vesa is an xorg driver.
Did you try the nvidia driver?rjbrewer wrote:]
