You can use XFree86 with the live CD but you'll need to do some typing at the terminal screen:
1. At the boot prompt, type "dsl 2" <cr>. This will boot you into a terminal window 2. Type "mydsl-load /path-to-file/XFree86.dsl" 3. Type "sudo nano /home/dsl/.xserverrc", edit the file to read "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp" and save the file. 4. Type "cp /path-to-file/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11" 5. Type "startx"
If the XF86Config-4 file is right for your graphics card then this should work.My card is Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Go and I have downloaded the right one...
"Path-to-file" could be anything, like /tmp? But if I boot to the terminal, how can I download config -file?

Sure - I just used this to mean wherever you had temporarily saved the copies of XFree86.dsl and XF86Config-4Ok DSL is now installed and my netcard is working! Now I try to install it how you explained at the first time?
Edit: I tried it and it almost worked, but it said "nvidia drivers" module not found and something else too and "screens not found"
Edit2: I changed config -files "drivers section" to vesa and i got picture but then it crashed. It said "synaptics modules not found".Hey it's working. I changed drivers section to "nv" . But resolution is still bad, how I change it?
Edit: After rebooting X didnīt started, it said "failed to initialize core devices"Next Page...
