Classic Pup 2.14x/Top10 doesn't recognize chipset
Classic Pup 2.14x/Top10 doesn't recognize chipset
I full installed Classic Pup to this old Dell celeron 400 mhz computer, with 512 mb sdram and 10 gb hard drive. During the boot up, there is a delay during detection, culminating in a warning that "915resolution" does not recognize this "chipset type", that I should report the problem to "stomljen@yahoo.com". It says the "Intel chipset" is not recognized, but it does give a numerical ID (71228086) for the chipset. This issue is likely to be a video issue, but there are no problems with video (onboard) once JWM or Metacity is running. Is there anything I can do about this error? I'm selling the computer as a learning toy to anyone who will buy it, and would prefer that it be error-free for presentation to the public.

Well, based on that complication, I should probably install a later Puppy that doesn't have the 915resolution issue. Concur? I have absolutely nothing against the latest Puppy offerings, except the reservation about the age of this computer and the likelihood of it needing an older kernel.. Can someone suggest a Puppy for this old clunker? It had Windows 98 on it. I was gonna spend today installing Win98 on it, but Puppy was working so well, I decided not to. Whatever the case, whichever the version, installing Puppy will be a shorter task than installing Win98. Please suggest a Puppy for this computer.
So I guess: 915resolution -l doesn't list any usable modes for what's there physically?
Couldn't you set it up manually?
