How to install to Fujitsu Stylistic 2300?

[lomeindreams]

Ok. I am trying to run Puppy Linux (PizzaPup) on my tablet, a Fujitsu Stylistic 2300. The problem is that this laptop will not boot from ANYTHING. No usb, it has no floppy drive or cd rom drive. Because of this I have had to install Puppy Linux from my old desktop, a 1 ghz Compaq.

The problem is that the video settings do not transfer over between the two. The compaq has a radeon 7000 in it, while the tablet runs some sort of internal graphics. When I moved the drive over to the tablet from the desktop, the video goes down to what I presume is 16 colors, I cannot see my mouse, and the terminal looks messed up as well. The text at boot shows up fine though


I'm fairly new with linux, and I am just all around confused. Is there some way to set the video setting on my desktop so that the tablet will be able to accept it? Or make Puppy Linux detect the internal graphics correctly?

I really want to use it, it runs so nice and fast, but I can't see anything.


Sorry for the convoluted message, I'm sure I left out things. Help is great, ask me anything so I can get this fixxed.

When you say "I installed Puppy Linux" --do you mean

"I booted from CD on my Compaq and installed to the tablet as a shared drive"

or do you mean

"I copied vmlinuz, image.gz, pup001, and usr_cram.fs over manually along with grub.exe and am attempting to start Puppy using grub..."

or

?

Also,

What OS is currently on the tablet?

This one should be easy.

1. When the computer boots just press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to go back to the console.
2. Run the xorgwizard script

The terminal when I push ctrl + alt + backspace is all messed up. Its blue with a bunch of black lines down it. There are also a lot of what I presume is characters messed up by these lines, but I'm not sure. Its hard to .



When I say I installed puppy, I mean I stuck the tablet hard drive in the desktop (with a convertor.) I then booted from the cd, and used the option to install it to the hard drive, using an open partition.

My tablet has Ubuntu 5.10 (which I'm going to try replacing with Ubuntu Lite soon,) and windows 98 SE.

Oh, then here is what you do:

Connect the HDD to the desktop again.

In puppy Go to the setup and select to execute the xorgwizard again. That will reboot the computer, but before it comes up from reboot, turn off the desktop and take the HDD back to the tablet. This will have the effect of deleting any previous settings.

Now boot the tablet and go through the wizard.

Every time I try to click xvesa in the wizard, it just sends me to command line again. I don't know why...

Then, when I load xorg, it doesn't detect my keyboard or mouse.

Eh, I'm going to wipe the partition and start from scratchness.

Edit: Didn't help, it boots (on the tablet) telling me that last time I had to turn it off improperly because of my video settings and that I should configure them. And then xvesa doesn't actually load itself. It just sits ther with a command line right below the blue screen to make the choice.

Ehh... time for class.

You need to type startx or xwin after it spits you back to the commandline.
