Where does this information come from? A log file or do you enter a script from CLI?

Thanks.

I'm new to using linux distros and i really want to use puppy, so i installed precise puppy 5.5 on a cd yesterday and when it started, my screen resolution didn't fit my monitor ( i suppose this can be fixed with nvidia drivers? i use a gtx 670 ) and also, my keyboard (razor anansi) wouldn't work. i tried setting the keyboard to usb in one of the settings but it didn't work. can someone help me?

Diarthorosis,

I can't tell you about video drivers, that's out of my league, but you can go to menu>set-up>Quick set up first run settings and in the video section, it gives you an opportunity to run the video wizard. If that doesn't work, In my experience, changing the refresh(?) rate has solved the problem. My apologies if you have already ran this without any luck. Maybe someone with more experience can help you if this doesn't work.
