i've had this before, it's just the screen section of xorg.conf needs adjusting.
worth a punt ... try
Code: Select all

if that doesn't work, run nvidia-xconfig again and then post the xorg.conf here

I have never gotten running the nvidia-xconfig to do anything but mess up the xorg.conf.
Do not use it.
Only use xorgwizard to make graphic changes to xorg.conf
The only idea I have why xorgwizard did not work, after the driver compiled and installed.
Make sure to only have installed one Nvidia driver.
You said you tired several driver run packages.
Did you make sure to completely uninstall the Nvidia driver and all it's files, before trying a different one?
If there is more than one Nvidia driver installed. Xorgwizard will not know which one to use and just will use nothing.
You will probably need to use Pfind program to find all the Nvidia driver run package installed and then remove it by deleting in Rox file manager.
This is my working xorg.conf

@bigpup I compared our xorg.conf, and they are rather similar. I edited manually to make them match without any success.
I did uninstall each driver, but did an extra check for leftovers. - Nothing to find.

I looked at the xorg.conf in Tuxedo-OS that makes it right on this laptop. They have put it together somewhat different than in Puppy, but it maybe tell anyone something valuable... It seems to me that xorg.conf is built out of some "layers" where each conf.file is one layer.
00-Tuxedo-nvidia-amdgpu-fix.conf

Tried the PrimaryGPU option, but no different behavior.
Tried to find the screen-section. - I didn't. A global search lead to xorgparser.py, but the only xorg.conf is in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-vifdeo-intel and holds
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel"
Driver "intel"
# Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
The earlier described conf-files only holds sections - InputClass and OutputClass. I am clearly missing something, but Tuxedo is set up in another way... These files are located in /usr/share/X11.
Code: Select all
# pwd
/mnt/nvme0n1p2/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
# ls
00-tuxedo-nvidia-amdgpu-fix.conf 10-quirks.conf 70-wacom.conf
10-amdgpu.conf 10-radeon.conf
10-nvidia.conf 40-libinput.conf
I did a test to use driver "amdgpu" instead of "nvidia", but this one also fails to load X.
Could it be kernel related? Tuxedo ships with Linux-5.6
Re: Slacko Puppy 7.0

zigbert,
You have a Tuxedo laptop (Polaris 15) that has a Intel processor with integrated graphics in the processor.
It also has a Nvidia graphics card.
In laptops setup this way they are suppose to start using the Intel integrated Graphics. Use it for all normal low demand stuff.
The Nvidia hardware only gets used for high demand graphics.
If the operating system has correct support, this switching is automatic.
Puppy does not have this support and will only use the Intel processor integrated graphics.
It will never use the Nvidia hardware.
Check Pup-Sysinfo->Devices->Display->Summary
If it says the kernel driver in use: i915
That is what Puppy is using.
This intel/nvidia graphics laptop setup is called Nvidia Optimus
Here is some info on Nvidia Optuimus on Linux
viewtopic.php?p=11552#p11552
I have seen no one in Puppy try to get this working in Puppy.
Maybe you can have some luck with it.
Not sure what needs to be added to Puppy to provide support.
This is not completely a bad thing for Puppy graphics.
If all you can get is the processor integrated graphics.
That graphics hardware is still very good high end for what Puppy needs for graphics.
If you have an Intel i7 processor with integrated graphics.
It is not too far down in ability, from the Nvidia hardware.

here's my nvidia screen section created by the nvidia driver which you could try to adapt. you may well also need the PrimaryGPU option or just copy that over to xorg.conf.d folder from tuxedo
if it doesn't work try xorg-autoconf again and adapt that xorg.conf

Thank you both @666philb and @bigpup for your feedback!
I have used some hours to see if I could use your knowledge, and take this process a bit further... Or if I have to give up and use Tuxedo-OS. I have found some info, so I feel it is too early to give it all up.
I have tested several configurations of xorg.conf, and it has given one single result. If adding
Code: Select all
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
to the screen section, it seems that X is starting. Because:
- I am not thrown back to prompt, but screen stays black.
- If I push the powerbutton (hardware), I am thrown back to prompt in 30 seconds, and system is powering off. This behavior is similar to the suspend dialog box in Slacko. This function only works in X (as far as I know).
So, I wonder if we actually could have reached X with another issue? The default refreshrate set in xorg.conf is
Code: Select all
HorizSync 35-81
VertRefresh 59-76
Vertical refreshrate is reported by xrandr to 77, but I am not able to find horizontal syncrate. Not even able to find what monitor I have. I wonder if these settings can make it crash? I have tested 'VertRefresh 77' in xorg.conf without any further luck.
Code: Select all
# xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

The saga continues...
As described in the previous post, it seemed like X is running. - It is. Internal monitor goes black, while external monitor gets the signal. Sadly it is really bad image-quality on the monitor. The external monitor is unusable like this. It is simply not possible to see what's going on...
I really would like some advice if you have any experience with something similar.
The photo (not a screenshot - that shows correct colors) shows Rubix, Abiword, pMusic and Gnumeric. I have no idea why Gnumeric looks rather normal while the others goes dark. I have tried every setting on the monitor menu. The monitor works normal with my other pc.
Thanks a lot for any knowledge - so close!

Sometimes tweaking has been going on too long 
Resetting all values in the Xorg video wizard made the job - Obviously time for bed...
The result (for now) is:
'nvidia' for external monitor
'fbdev' for laptop monitor
Thanks for all help!

Monitor VertRefresh: 77.00 times/s
I think this is the problem with the external monitor.
77.00 is just not a normal refresh rate.
It needs to be something around 60.00Hz.
You have the laptops monitor and an external monitor.
I would go back to basics and first get the laptops monitor correctly working.
I would go back to the very first boot up condition and boot Slacko 7.0 with no save.
Start fresh.
Also look in the laptops UEFI bios setup for any settings affecting what hardware is providing graphics.
Any settings for graphics at all.
Disable or enable settings.
Any auto options for settings. Usually set to auto just works.
Get the laptops monitor correctly working and using the correct hardware.
Then move to making the external monitor correct.

I'm downloading it now. I'll try to debug.
Cheers!
EDIT:
I can get past the dbus error
Code: Select all
export $(dbus-launch)
./kdenlive-20.12.1b-x86_64.appimage
But... it starts up then segfaults. It seems ffmpeg is too old, SDL2 is missing, (the reason I stuck with old ffmpeg, so not to drag in sdl2), there is a gstreamer issue (we don't have it) , no libjack ... and to top it off there is an XCB error! I don't know where to start to fix all that. Sorry!

Fixed in https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/2019, the fix will be part of the next Slacko.

It works when restarting PPM. I tried to uninstall apps in the same session of PPM. My fault. Sorry!

Just giving a brief report of the journey to replace my old system with the new Tuxedo laptop. AMD Ryzen 7 4800H and Nvidia 1650 TI
- Boot with usb-stick (fbdev) - no wifi, no touchpad, no brightness adjustment of screen, no backlight of laptop keyboard, no hdmi
- Upgrade to kernel 5.4.86 (from 4.19). Wifi ok, touchpad ok
- Disable noveau driver
- Install Nvidia driver. Hdmi ok, no laptop monitor
- Grub default boots Slacko 7 with nvidia to external monitor (normal startx)
- Extra Grub option with pfix=nox and execute an alternative startx with vesa driver for laptop monitor
- Appimages - Gimp, Inkscape, ... Make executable links in /usr/bin/ and *.desktiop files to integrate properly
- Turn of acpi boot service to allow turning off laptop monitor when using external monitor. Using boot parameter acpi=off resulting no wifi
- Select the correct sound card in the sound card wizard (sound was directed to hdmi)
- Install redshiftgui (PPM) to improve monitor brightness adjustment. Works only for external monitor
It has now become a really impressive system for my daily workload.
Issues to work with...
- Monitor uses correct resolution by 2560x1440, but refreshrate refuses to work with 75 Hz. Only 60 Hz is used.
- Adjusting laptop monitor brightness and the backlight of laptop keyboard doesn't work. Next kernel upgrade will be interesting.
These are minors... let's work!
Thank you @01micko for this excellent OS!

Working on an update of pWidgets for Slacko 7 (and others)...
I haven't been using pWidgets for some time, and wonder if there are any issues that have been improved or should be improved?
Changelog 2.5.10 (so far)
- Include libjpeg (32bit / 64bit) and libpng12 (64bit) for xonlclock to work
- Birthday: Update widget to be a more general reminder
- Calendar: Fix spacing in monday-configuration
- Battery_bar: New widget to fit together with Ram_bar and Cpu_bar
- Space_drives: Use label of partition if exist

zigbert, have you looked at the Pwidgets topic in the forum?
viewtopic.php?f=95&t=322
Maybe you need to start your own topic or somehow take that one over.

G'day zigbert,
By coincidence, I'm running a 32-bit Slacko7 this morning so have taken a shot of my current pwidgets.
Over the years, I think I've had most 'trouble' with CPU temps, wireless and weather widgets. I could post a config file of any you'd like to see from my slacko shot. I'm not sure if the pwidgets weather is actually working - looks about right but that may just be a coincidence 
.
I've had to switch to 'pure' conky for 64-bit Pups as the pwidgets did not often behave for me. Not that I really know what I'm doing in conky, or in pwidgets as well. Just fiddle with the text or configs and trial-and-error until it works as I want. Or give up 
. No idea for weather in conky-64 but I can usually look out the window 
.
David S.

I have put together this test-build of 2.5.10 64-bit. Try it if you like...
