Ok attempting:
"dsl vga=normal nolapic dsl toram dsl dma dsl pci=irqmask=0x0e98." Selected "NO" on the USB Mouse and Yes on the IMPS/2... mouse is unchanged: X axis scrambles through the workspaces and Y axis responds correctly... however mouse buttons are correct.

"dsl vga=normal nolapic pci=irqmask=0x0e98" same result

"dsl vga=normal nolapic dsl pci=irqmask=0x0e98" same result

"dsl vga=normal nolapic dsl toram dsl dma dsl pci=irqmask=0x0e98" same result.

Hmm, now what?

Also can someone tell me why my external monitor turns green? In windows it goes green quite often, but when I use it for linux it doesn't/hasn't happen.

full of problems,
lzy

I'm no help here as I too am a noob using an old compaq presario 1230, same issues, any help ?

Hmm...

You can always download and install the XFree86.dsl extension from the repository.

Please be sure to read the *.info file carefully because this is not a one-click install process for this extension.

You might want to try this option
