X and Fluxbox :: X not running 24-bit color
hi robert,
thank u for your fast reply !
in the vesa mode: we only have 800x600 and bigger ones ...
;-)
we can-t solve that problem without loading the XFree86 ( mydsl-load XFree86.dsl)
Is there a possibility to get an 1280x960 16bit with 85hz ? (19-inch CRT)
For a frugal-install ?
We only have a 79-MB-HDD ... ( it-s funny - but seriosly )
wishes from the classics pc-builders-group South to Australia !
You can certainly setup XFree86.dsl in a frugal environment.
I not sure how to answer your configuration question.
I rarely use XFree anymore. Also, I did not put together this extension. I have used the extension in a frugal setup to help a friend who has an i810 and it worked well. He already had a XF86Config-4 from a prior distro.
Maybe this can help-
I happen to have a few xf86config-4 files that I've
been saving against the day I might need them.
This one was marked i810, and because I've never had
one of these cards, I can't really say if it works.
But you can follow the instructions in the Xfree86.dsl
info file and find out.....
It seems funny that it has no modelines as such.

hi adraker !
Thank you !
Yes that-s it - see below - in your posting:
1024 . . . . and so on ...
I-will check this on sunday evening -

I also check this on sunday evening -

Well - back,
in the mydsl-download-extension-panel:
1. Change /home/dsl/.xserverrc to: exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp ****(copy included in /home/dsl/XFree86_config_files)*****
2. CREATE a /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
----------------------end of lines ....
Well - i did: create
part2.: path: etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ....well but
part-1. I can-t understand the meaning of these lines . . . ! 
My question: in which file at boot-up is damn-small looking at for xsetup.sh / like xorg.conf ? the name ? and the path ??
which name has this file to have ? Xfree86 (i need the right name of the file- i just created ....)
