X and Fluxbox :: X window problem

People please run a search

Anyway, I have posted a thread awhile ago about old/odd/laptop video cards that just don't want to work. The original fb0 error is also fixed in this. Link http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....3;t=393
I had this problem too, but I did some heavy research so here is the solution that worked for me, hope it helps you!

Thanks for your help.

i get DSL running on xvesa with 800x600 and 4 Bit.
Anything greater than this is impossible :-(

any suggestions ?

Hmm, make lilo create a fb0 device for you and use the xfbdev Xserver instead of Xvesa. This has worked for me and should work for your trident because its supposed to be hardware independant.
Do you have any particular reason for using Xvesa? Try my fix and use xfbdev as the x server, NOT xvesa.

Thanks for you advice,

but why create a fb0 device ? while booting DSL i can select
a xfb server

But with XFB xserver won´t start.

Same problem here , also with Trident Cyber 9385 chipset.

Geroges-H do you also have a thinkpad 760xd?

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.

The video chipset on my laptop is the Trident Cyber 9385.
