X and Fluxbox :: old laptop -- X problems -- need vga16 ?

Did you bootup DSL using the fb640x480 bootcode, ( NOT "dsl fb640x480" )
then try to use the xfbdev xserver in the xsetup script ?

Just curious if it works or not ..

Also, is the XF86Config-4 file you are trying to use made for
Xfree86 .ver 3 or 4 ??

Yes,

it is possible to change the settings for the applications to make them more 640x480 friendly.

I also agree that it would be nice to have these be rolled into the distro.
