X and Fluxbox :: starting X

when i start X it comes up with gray x pattern thing with no icons and all the colors are off
then i change my theme to biz card or something else and every thing is very pixelated and all the collors are still very off

my monitor is a ViewSonic VA1912wb

any ideas?

?

thanks in advance

if u add some more of ur specs it may be easyer to find the problem

it says that i passed an undefined mode number when i hit enter at dsl splash screen

it says video adapter: vesa vga

mode: ColsxRows:
00 0F00 80x25
00 0F01 80x50

with a bunch more

Enter mode number or 'scan':

Try pressing the F3 key at the boot screen and then try some other video modes like:

dsl vga=771 xsetup

and then choose the xfbdev server when prompted.

tried that and i get

modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module fb0
XIO: fatal IO error 104 ( connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining

then i get command line
dsl@tty1[dsl]$
