Can I use 431 video driver on tahr605(Given up)

[number77]

Hello
I am trying to load tahr605 on to a fujitsu siemans econel 200. It has a zenon dual core processor with 2gb ram. Tahr loads but has problems with xwin, which momentarily loads a desktop before dropping back to a prompt. It will run 431 and that says it has an ati video card. I do choose the ati choice in tahr but bit still wont run a desktop.
Has anyone any ideas.
Thanks

What happens if you if instead of ati, you choose vesa?

Try using boot option:

Code: Select all

radeon.modeset=0

If your booting with a live Tahrpup on a USB or CD/DVD
At the Puppy boot screen press F2.
Enter this code.
May or may-not have to put puppy in front of it so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

puppy radeon.modeset=0

If Tahrpup is installed on the hard drive and using a boot loader.
Add that code to the end of the kernel line of the menu entry.

Exactly the same as ati.

No that didn't do it.
I f2d at start, then puppy pfix=ram ide=nodma acpi=off radeon.modeset=0.
It still puts up screen for half a second then drops back to terminal. I can xwin and choose ati or vesa but neither works for more than .5 secs.

Thanks for help everyone but have had to give that one up. I have got lupu 5.28 working on it so will make do with that. Probably a good idea to learn something else anyway.
