I have installed DSL on an IBM ThinkPad. Everything went good except the dreaded:
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.
I have searched the message board and none of the techniques seem to work. In my lilo.conf the first line was vga=791, but this appears to point to a resolution of 800x600 and 32bit color(I think). I Changed the setting to 788 as suggested and nothing changed, and I also altered the setting to 768 to indicate the proper ability of my LCD screen, 640x480 8bit color. Now, while running windows I could max my screen at 800x600 4bit, but I am more comfortable with more color.
What do I need to do to get into X?

SpEcIeSHave you tried using the Xtrident KDrive XWindows server instead of the Xvesa and Xfbdev servers that come with DSL?
After download, assign executable permissions to the file:
chmod 755 Xtrident
Finally, edit your xsetup file and change the word "Xvesa" into "/home/damnsmall/Xtrident" or wherever you have stored the file. Then save the edited file and type:

Is Xtrident KDrive located somewhere else on the internet?
