X and Fluxbox :: X window problem

Xvesa requires a vesa 2.0 compliant card and as vesa 2.0 was published at the end of 1994 (if I remember correctly), it may be that your cards is too old. Though, it should work with standard VGA, i.e. 640x480 and 16 colours/4bit colour.

I think this is what i need to do because i have he same error.
Do i type 'fb800x600' while sudo su'd?

Hello again -

I tried typing fb800x600 at the boot: prompt and then selecting the Xfbdev server during the boot process. I still get the same error message - can't find fb0.

Additional ideas/thoughts or am I just out of luck - along with some other folks, it looks like?

Hello -

The exact error message is as follows:

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.

Anybody got an suggestions?

(Tried Knoppix and can't get it to fly either).
