I like the uncluttered desktop, and the new menu structure feels like it's moving in the right direction. All I can see (wrong) are some little things: Emelfm's edit button tries to run beaver instead of leafpad and the autorun.bat on the ISO points to a non-existant index.html. I dont get resolution options in xvesa.lua, just an ok button, but I think that has already been mentioned elsewere. Thanks for all your work!

Keep them comming as I get ready for cut a3. Back to top Peter Joined: 20 Apr 2006 Posts: 51 Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2006 4:09 pm    Post subject: Glad to be of help! I tried booting on my behemoth toshiba (266 P1 w/96 mb of ram and a "Chips and Tech. 65555 PCI" video card) and noticed that (along with being [i]really[/i] fast) xvesa showed the proper resolution options. The desktop that didn't was a 450 P3, 256 meg ram, with a 64mb geforce 4 videocard (leadtek , I belive). I know that xvesa in dsl 2.3 works on this same system, I hope this helps you.

It is doing the same thing. and just to reiterate, when I run xvesa.lua, the panel opens, but only contains the ok button, it has no buttons for resolution/bit depth settings. Is anyone else experiencing this with an nvidia card?
