X and Fluxbox :: problems with screen rez



Curiouser & curiouser......
Rattle a cage and look what appears  :D
Didn't clock that you'd also switched to the kdrive (too much of a hurry as usual) since you weren't working to such a tight 50mb limit.

Feather runs without any cheat codes on my radeon9700 & boots into X, but the latest DSL needs knoppix -txt to see the boot menu and fails completely to run the xserver.  Assume it is the 3.3 version that makes the difference, but don't really have a clue as to why and by the time I work it out you guys will have released new versions :)

Anyway they are both excellent little distros - hats off all round.

Hmm interesting ...
DSL fail to boot my GF4 too, perhaps il will give it a try.

What refresh rate can you get ? are you till stuck on eyes killing 60 HZ ?

Ok, i'am under FL.


Good points :
I don't have to boot in tet mode anymore.
It includes MPlayer :)))

Bad :
Still can't have more than 60 Hz even though there is a dialog in xsetup for that. Setting refresh rate with xvesa depends of the hardware i suppose.
I got the mouse pointer stuck (!), had to go to console and play with insmod.

I just have to add GCC and it will be near perfect or me :)

Yeah Shame about the res, but glad your working OK.

The truth is we expect too much from these mini distros & should be gratefull for whats available :)

Personally I'm not wedded to the idea of the mini disc and the 50mb limit, as I never use them, but like many I have old machines with small hard drives that benefit by a pared down distro.  

p.s. Love the DVD burner 4.5 in one hit :D

Yeah, but 50 / 64 Mb is very small, but there is no distro that weight 80 / 100 which would be good for an average USB key (128 / 256 M).
