X and Fluxbox :: full resolution w/ out xfree86

Most other distros use a full X server.
This is way to big for DSL's 50 MB limit.
We use K drive/Tiny X X server.

You can use the command

Xvesa -listmodes

To see the modes that your video card can support using Tiny X

If you want Mepis like X, then use XFree86.dsl extension with DSL.

thank you

Intel 845g series are horrible graphics chips

They only properly support 640x480x16bit color for VESA modes, so you can boot with:

dsl vga=normal xsetup

and choose Xvesa and 640x480x16bit

Then use ALT-LeftClick to drag your windows down until the title bar is in view and then maximize them.

Or install XFree86 and use the i810 driver
