Laptops :: Problem but i dont know what

My mother has an Toshiba Tecra 8000 64 mb ram

I burned DSL and i wanted to check it on her laptop. When i put the cd in on startup it goes like this:

usb devices ok
cardmgr ok
auto configuring devices ok
then it goes to xconfigure
And there it ends
i get a cursor and thats it. The only thing i think is relevant is that it says something about /home

I hope someone can help me.

Which cheatcodes/boot labels are you using when you boot?

Try setting framebuffer using a resolution you know your laptop supports. If you aren't sure, start with 800x600 (which should work regardless).

Thank you very much the framebuffer set to 800x600 and now it works
