trident video chip

#1 Post by abarnabe »

Hallo, I installed puppy 431 and 412 (HD frugal) on a Toshiba Satellite 1800-514 with 1 ghz celeron processor, 256 mb ram, 15 gb HD and trident video chip
when I play mp4 videos with gxine or vlc it tends to crash.
usually after 4 o 5 videos I get a screen with blue and black vertical stripes, the only way to shut down is to press the power botton for 5 seconds.
with win XP no problem.
vlc takes up to 40 % of the cpu, so I don't think it's over heating
Please help

Edit:
I don't have the problem with quirky 1.1, is it a driver issue?
if yes is there a driver update for 431?
