Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I want to check the Accel in xorg.conf .... but I can't seem to find it! Can SNA be used?

A way to find xorg.conf:

go to terminal,
root in ~ #: cd /
root in / #: find * -iname xorg.conf

hope it helps - Eastler

try with pFind in the Menu. Choose "System Files" for the search depth parameter

Often it's not in use, but if it is, it's probably in /etc/X11/.
Several xorg.conf* templates in Fatdog

Fatdog64 has not used xorg.conf for more than a decade now. We rely on Xorg's automatic configuration (we were the first one in the Puppy family which did that).

To configure, we used what is known as configuration fragments, located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d: https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/ ... nf.5.xhtml. Instead of one big monolithic xorg.conf, you can specify individual configurations there.

For display driver, we usually use a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf, and you can put your device settings there. Our version of xorgwizard does not create xorg.conf, it creates 20-gpudriver.conf instead.

SNA is definitely supported, I think it is enabled by default, but if you're not sure and you want to force it, create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf containing:

Section   "Device"
        Identifier "Intel Graphics"
        Driver     "intel"
        # Enable/disable as needed
        #Option     "DRI" "2"            # DRI3 is default
        Option     "AccelMethod"  "sna" 
EndSection

You can enable DRI2 by uncommenting the associated comment above.

PS: Even though Fatdog64 doesn't create xorg.conf by default, it doesn't mean it cannot use it. In fact, if you like, you can create xorg.conf yourself, and it __will__ be used.
