Hi Shinobar

Do you have any plans to update your slacko sfs to 295.40 on k3.1.10 please? I seem to need it for my new desktop to make the display correct.

If not, could you say how to make it and I'll gladly try to do it for you.

I have downloaded the Nvidia source and compiled and installed it OK on Slacko 5.3.2.8 but it uses up lots of savefile that way and i'd much prefer to have an sfs.

Many thanks

OK, try nvidia-glx-sdl-295.40-slacko.sfs
for slacko with kernel 2.6.37.6, 2.6.39.4, 3.1.10-slacko_4gA, or 3.1.10-slacko_paeA.

Load, but do not run the nVidia Settings at this point of time, just exit the sfs_load, and run xorgwizard or reboot PC following the coming message.
Slacko 5.3.1 may need not reboot PC, go straight to the xorgwizard.
Slacko 5.3.3 beta may need to reboot PC before the xorgwizard.

Shinobar,

Great work on the Nvidia drivers, but I just wanted to inform you that according to Phoronix, there have been a lot of issues with the 295.40 Nvidia driver.

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n ... px=MTA4ODQ

Hopefully Nvidia will get it sorted out soon.

Thank you Shinobar - much appreciated - have downloaded and installed.

It seems to be working OK, but I think I'm a bit surprised at how low glxgears is reporting the frame rate - although I've nothing to compare it against for this new pc with nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a].

Thanks again.

Shino: Looks like saluki is keeping the 3.2.8 kernel.Would you consider building a sfs for the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200? .I try to compile it myself but I failed misserabily. Thank you for all you do for the puppy comunity.

No.
GeForce FX 5200 is said to be supported by 173.14.xx driver, but I have not old cards to confirm.

glxgears gives a much "better" result on my system using the new 295.49 sfs that shinobar has posted on page 1....

Hey folks. Im new to posting but have used puppy on and off for a few years.

I am having a problem with loading nvidia drivers for a geforce fx 5900 xt.
I am using puppy lucid 5.2.8 and tried the 174. drivers and, using an Acer 173 lcd monitor @1280x1024 res.

the generic drivers have the screen offset to the rt a bit.

If i install the nvidid 174. pup in the lucid repository, and after, i restart x server, it drops to prompt i have to use xorgwizard to unld driver because it wont load.


i also have this problem when i switch wm from openbox to xfce(installed wm). in that scenario, xorgwizard wont even run and have to hard reboot. Scrren centers correctly in xfce if I change refresh from 60 to 75(top edge is off a hair)

Is that the right driver for my vid card?
Does the xfce 4.6 wm in lucid repository trouble nvidia driver?

This is the only problem im having in puppy 5.2.8, getting the nvidia driver to take.
(I do get the error in the nvidia server settings that the driver isn't being used)
Thanks

Btw, precise puppy beta generic driver loads screen correctly.

Nvidia Optimus

#29 Post by Scooby »

I want to ask you shinobar since you seem to be something of an expert
on Nvidia drivers.

I want to run Bumblebee on puppy linux!

Bumblebee is a program that enables nvidia optimus technology to be used in Linux. There is compiled versions for ArchLinux, Ubuntu and Mandriva.
see
http://bumblebee-project.org/


Is there a puppy linux distro that you think could run any of these?

Could it be compiled for any puppy linux distros? For me it is not so important what puplet Im runnin. Have been running Lucid, Slacko,DPUP Exprimo and Fatdog


Please help, I'm a noob in Linux but has knowledge with windows programming(And I'm very tired of anything from M$ )

PS If it doesnt work with puppy linux which of ArchLinux, Ubuntu and Mandriva is easiest to get on a usb flash drive?
