Hello Everyone:

I am running a version of Debian-based Linux, and everything was wonderful.
Powerdot was running fine.

Then, I did something bad.

I decided to upgrade the version of texlive on the system. Now, when I run
any of my powerdot files I get the error

! Package graphics Error: No driver specified.

See the graphics package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.88     }

?

My pstricks packages are installed separately from the Debian packages and come from the newest versions on CTAN. I don't use the Debian versions of
these packages.

When I obtained the above message, I then changed

\documentclass[style=paintings,mode=present,size=12pt]{powerdot}

to

\documentclass[style=paintings,mode=present,size=12pt,dvips]{powerdot}

The error goes away, but the pdf file that results give slides that are
truncated or chopped off on the right side.

If I change to

\documentclass[style=paintings,mode=print,size=12pt,dvips]{powerdot}

The pdf file is correct and gives me the full slide ... nothing is
truncated.  But, of course, now the pause effects, etc., ... are gone.

Can someone please me to locate the problem? What is the probable cause for
this?

Kind regards,

Angelo



This has been discussed on this list. You need a new version of a config.ps file.
Quoting a message on this list by Hendri Adriaens :

Hi,

the bug in dvips in texlive 2007 causing powerdot presentations to be
cropped to square, has been traced. Please read the bug report and the
solution here:

Best regards,
