Installing Nvidia driver
Averatec 2370 comes with Nvidia 6100 video with a maximum resolution of 1280×800, but Puppy linux does not include the driver for the card. Puppy actually has two different Xserver: the standard Xorg and XVesa. XVesa is a light weight version of Xorg but does not support direct rendering and is limited to a resolution of 1024×768. Even without direct rendering, the machine appears fast enough to display movies on XVesa. If you can live witht he lower resolution, sticking with XVesa allow you to avoid tainting your kernal with the Nvidia proprietary driver.
A fellow Puppy user has made the Nividia driver into a dotpup file. Unfortunately, some tinkering is needed to get it to work. The following instructions are based on this post. Some manual editing of the xorg.conf file is needed to get the video working.
1. Download the Nvidia dotpup file InstallNvidia.
2. Select Menu->File Managers->Rox-Filter file manager.
3. Browse to where you download the pup file and click on it to run the installer and press the Run button.
4. You’ll be prompt to delete the pup file, I would press Yes to get rid of it or it will be save when you shutdown Puppy.
5. Select Menu->Exit to Prompt.
6. Type the command installnvidia to bring up the install screen.
7. Options 1 does not work, so select option 3 to bring up the Puppy video wizard.
8. Press xorg to bring up a list of monitors.
9. Select “LCD Panel 1280×800″ and press OK.
10. Select the resolution 1280×800x24 and press OK. This takes us back to the installer screen.
11. Select option 6 to install the 9629 driver.
12. Select option 0 to exit to command line.
13. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
14. Scroll to the section “ServerLayout”, you’ll notice a line for “Screen 1″ Right of “Screen0″. Delete this line.
15. Scroll to the section “Monitor” with “Monitor1″. Delete this entire section.
16. Scroll to the section “Device” with “Card1″. Delete this entire section.
17. Save the file and exit the editor.
18. Type modprobe agpgart. If you don’t, startx will fail, and you’ll get error messages about “unknown symbols”.
19. Type startx to start up the GUI. You’ll notice the Nvidia logo briefly.
Enabling Averatec Power Management
ACPI seems to be enabled by default, but none of the ACPI modules are loaded. As a result, the fan is always on and the cpu runs at full speed, resulting in low battery life. To enable power management, due the following:
1. edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.
2. Locate the line [ ! -d /proc/acpi ] && modprobe apmChange the line to
if [ -d /proc/acpi ];then
modprobe ac
modprobe battery
modprobe button
modprobe fan
modprobe processor
modprobe thermal
modprobe powernow-k8
modprobe cpufreq_conservative
modprobe cpufreq_ondemand
modprobe cpufreq_powersave
modprobe cpufreq_userspace
modprobe cpufreq_states
else
modprobe apm
fi
3. Save the changes.
4. run the following command:echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor.
Configuring WMPower to run at Startup to track battery usage
Once the power management layer is in place, you you can run the wmpower application to display your battery level. To get wmpower to startup do the following:
1. Edit the file /root/.xinitrc.
2. Locate the line: exec $CURRENTWM
3. Before this line, add the line:wmpower -no-meddling &The -no-meddling option tells wmpower to display status only. The ampersand is necessary to run the program in the background or the window manager won’t run.
Enabling the Touchpad
While the touchpad on Averatec 2370 is usable with the mouse driver. It is just way too sensitive. What we need to do is to load the Synaptic driver and edit the xorg.conf
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Type modprobe evdev
3. In /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, add the following line to the end# Need to do this for Synaptics Touchpad
modprobe evdev
4. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
5. In the section “Module”, add the following line to load the Synpatic driver.
#Load Synaptic Module
Load “synaptics”
6. In the section “ServerLayout”, add the following line to make Syanptics the main pointer driver
InputDevice “Touchpad” “CorePointer”
7. Add the following section:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver “synaptics”
Identifier “TouchPad”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/psaux”
Option “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option “MaxTapTime” “0″
EndSection
Note that I use MaxTapTime of 0 because I don’t like having a mouse click being generated by a touchpad tap. This often cause lots of problem during editing.
8. Select Menu->Shutdown->Exit to Prompt to exit.
9. Type startx to start the window manager. The touchpad should be working now.
Enabling the second USB Mouse
If you plug in a USB mouse into the Averatec 2370, the mouse is not automatically detected. If you examine what is returned by the dmesg command, you’ll notice that the USB device is detected, but there are no message that identifies the device as a mouse. To get it working, you’ll need to install the usbhid (usb human interface device) module and add the second mouse into xorg.conf.
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Type modprobe usbhid. If you dmesg, you’ll notice that the name and brand of your mouse is displayed.
3. In /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, add the following line to the end# Need to do this for USB Mouse
modprobe usbhid
4. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
5. In the section “ServerLayout”, add the following line to add the USB mouse driver
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "AlwaysCore"
6. Add the following section:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver “mouse”
Identifier “USB Mouse”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/mice”
Option “Protocol” “auto”
Option “SendCoreEvents” “true”
EndSection
7. Select Menu->Shutdown->Exit to Prompt to exit.
Type startx to start the window manager. The USB Mouse should be working now when you plug it in.

i have puppy and without success installed to the hard drive.Seems a simple solution as puppy goes to command line after loading and suddenly stops at the ALSA setup. Final script “Setting up ALSA with default values. 0: old priority 0, new priority 19 1323: old priority 0 new priority, immediately goes to the command line waiting for imput. Any idea what command to insert here?

If it allows you to enter in commands, try “xwin”. Else, Ctrl + Alt + F2 (for example) to switch to a different virtual console and try to enter “xwin” (if I remember correctly) there.
