X and Fluxbox :: X window problem

If your laptop won't boot into frambuffer at 800x600 you are stuck having to use the Xvesa at very low resolution. Try 800x600 at 4 or 8 bit color.

hum...didn't work for me

I tried each and every config possibility that the config utility offers, both with fb and xvesa, but it doesn't start.

maybe I could use VGA mode, but how can I do that? does anyone know, by any chance?

thanx

My toshiba laptop has the same video card, and typing fb800x600 at boot instead of hitting enter works for me. So perhaps it is something other than the video card's fault.

what version are you using ? I had a different but possibly related problem with 4.9 but 4.10 works fine.

Same problem here,
can´t start x-server with a thinkpad 760XD
which have a Trident Cyber 9385 video card.

Any suggestions ?
