Title: Display problems using DSL with Panasonic CF-27 Laptop Post by: Jieimulg on July 16, 2015, 04:54:14 PM Hi all,
I'm having problems trying to use DSL on an old 1998 Panasonic CF-27 laptop. The main issue is with the display, which when loaded up, seems to load glitched. I am not sure why, but I have tried booting into different settings to no avail. For reference, the specifications of the laptop are as follows: - PII 266 MHz MMX CPU - 96 (approx.) MB RAM - 4 GB HDD (http://i60.tinypic.com/rrus9g.jpg) Title: Re: Display problems using DSL with Panasonic CF-27 Laptop Post by: CNK on July 16, 2015, 10:35:46 PM What different settings have you tried so far?
It looks like a graphics driver problem, so you might be able to get a better display with the graphics in framebuffer mode. This can be done with the command "fb800x600" at the CD boot screen. Details are on the wiki (http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/cheat_codes.html#Other_boot_labels). The "dsl vga=xxx" commands (http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/vga_xxx.html) might help if that doesn't, or Xsetup with "dsl xsetup" if that isn't what you've already been doing.
