Laptops :: no Background - xsri not happy

Hmm, no idea then. I suppose you could check 'xset q' for the colors.

type fb640x480 at boot:

or
dsl xsetup vga=xxx

where xxx is replaced by the number below originally provided by robf, for example 771:

640x480 - 256 colours: 769
640x480 - 32,768 colours: 784
640x480 - 65,536 colours: 785
640x480 - 16.8M colours: 786
800x600 - 256 colours: 771
800x600 - 32,768 colours: 787
800x600 - 65,536 colours: 788
800x600 - 16.8M colours: 789
1024x768 - 256 colours: 773
1024x768 - 32,768 colours: 790
1024x768 - 65,536 colours: 791 (default)
1024x768 - 16.8M colours: 792
1280x1024 - 256 colours: 775
1280x1024 - 32,768 colours: 793
1280x1024 - 65,536 colours: 794
1280x1024 - 16.8M colours: 795

If I type fb640x480 at boot: then I get this:
Could not find kernel image: fb640x48.0
and it puts me back to the boot: prompt.

If I do the "dsl xsetup vga=769" at boot:
then it boots, then when xsetup.sh comes up, if I chose fbdev, then when X tries to come up I get:
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.

If I use xvesa in xsetup.sh instead, then the results are the same as before, the xsri cannot run.

I also tried fb800x600 at the boot: prompt, and the results were EXACTLY the same as when I used "dsl xsetup vga=769", that is vfbdev would give a modprobe error, and xvesa allowed XWindows to come up, but no xsri.

In both cases, I get this during the boot process:
You passed an undefined mode number.
Press <RETURN> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 secs

Any ideas?

It's "fb#x# dsl blahblah" as described in the wiki.
