Hi 666philb,
I downloaded quick-pet Lucid 511-FullNvidia_260.19.12-K2.633.2.
I thought that was the best choice of the six, don't know.
It's a friends computer so some time passes between tests.
His GTX570 runs 2560x1440 on a big monitor. I was able to get 1920X1200.
Lucid 528.004
2.6.33.2
Thanks

If you run PPM and click on drivers, click "Click here to test you graphics card" icon, you should be directed to download a hardware acceleration driver, which should enable higher resolutions, else run xrandr in a console

The link is dead FBI has shut them down.

[quote="666philb"]This is the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.44.graphics driver.

Only for lucid based puppies. These will not work for lighthouse.! or probably any other puppy.
I pinched the pinstall & punstall scripts from an official lucid driver out of the PPM, so thankyou to who ever created those.
