Hi everybody. Thanks for all the puppy's and helpful info!
I have run into an error that I cannot solve in Bionicpup32.
Here goes...
I am successfully using Bionicpup32-bit. It even loads my Nvidia Geforce FX
5500 in my old Dell Optiplex GX280 with 4 GB ram installed. This video card
has VGA and S-Video outs.
Here's the problem. The S-Video output + older TV.
The VGA works great but the S-video TV starts out in Color while in Bios and
any other OS, but when Bionicpup32 loads video drivers all of the colors go
black and white only.
I get color in Slackopup 533, Windows, etc...
Other than this BUG the Bionicpup32 is working great!
Once the desktop loads it stays in black and white. Tried a newer TV and
there is color but not older Tvs and VCRs to be clear what we're talking
about.
When I load the Gears to check 3D it works fine, just without color. Whole OS
works great.
It makes this old Dell very useful, but I need to second monitor.
I've tried the two Nvidia drivers. They completely fail.
I've tried the ones under petpackages on distro.ibliblio/puppy/bionic...
Complete failures. I also tried all of the Nouveau packages in package
manager. All of these send me back to black screen with choice of xorwizard,
set driver, reset driver to default etc..
Seems the Nouveau driver is doing the job!!! almost. So it must be some
simple setting somewhere.
I've messed around in xorg.conf to no avail as well...
Strange that this problem does not exist in old Slackopup 533. BOTH screens
work and in color!!!
Just can't use the rest of the Slackopup 533 OS as it is outdated.
Best I could figure, the Slackopup is using Vesa. So I tried switching to
Vesa in Bionicpup32.
I confirmed that It did in fact chang to Vesa, but it was still ALSO using
Nouveau in the Open GL and still black and white second screen.
I hate to give up on a Puppy solution for this PC. Your OSes are the best. I
even tried some distros off dirstrowatch, that suck. LOL
I have to use a 32 bit puppy unless I buy a 64-bit processor. So Bionic32
seems like the way to go except for this bug.
Thanks for any help.
