Hello -

I am trying to use DSL on an old Fujitsu Monte Carlo laptop. Everything goes along smoothly until the point where you select the X server to use.

When I select the frame buffer option I get an error message stating that fb0 cannot be found.

When I try the Xvesa option the system just sits there and nothing happens.

The video chipset is a Trident set (I don't remember exactly which one - I'm at work not at home).

Morphix does work fine - I would prefer to use DSL because I prefer Fluxbox over XFCE.

Can anyone help me with this?

George

Try booting with the option 'fb600x800'.  You would add that at the boot prompt.

same problem with trident TGUI 9440. not solved yet.
I'm using it in text mode, right now.But I don't know why xserver doesn't work, because debian's Xserver works on this pc..
I don't know. maybe this chipset does not support Xvesa.
typing (knoppix +) fb800x600 at boot doesn't help.
choosing xfbdev in the config script neither.

Hi, don't type knoppix + fb800x600, but just fb800x600 by itself and then pick the Xfbdev server.

fb800x600 is about the same as selecting 'knoppix vga=788'.
