Xorg.Conf Configured To Use Built-In Motherboard GPU
I was trying the F96-CE_XFCE_FUSILLI and on first boot, I got a black screen. I did CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC to get to console. Ran "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and noticed it was configured to use intel driver for the built-in motherboard gpu and the BusID not commented out as well. Edited the configu...

F96-CE_XFCE_FUSILLI - Kernel Mismatch When Building GPU Driver
Was trying to install NVidia driver using getnvidia on F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI

kernel I'm using is kernel_sources-6.0.12-FP.sfs
When I ran getnvidia, I got a kernel mismatch error. When executing the NVidia run driver installer, it also fails building kernel module

Ah gotcha. I misunderstood. Yeah, that's a tough one. I think it would be better off having a SFS copy of all the programs you use so you can start fresh on all computers and load all SFS files.

Re: How delete old drivers audio/graphics in Pupxxxsave.4fs?
I don't think you can use a Xenial savefile for other computers running different flavor of puppy like Tahr, Slacko, Bookworm, Bionic, etc... Maybe IF ALL of your computers are running XenialPup, you "might" get lucky. And that's still a might.

I personally don't know how to manually delete old drivers but what I can suggest is you can try mounting the 4FS file, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use "vesa" as your video driver and save so all the computers you use, no matter if it has AMD or NVidia, it will ("cross-fingers") u...

One last thing on this. Xcompmgr is very small in size. Maybe it can be added by default on the next release and include a setting on jwmdesk for transprency?
