I am trying to run dsl on an old Thinkpad 365X, and I can't get the default xserver to give me correct colors on my LCD. I know that xorg works, because the system has a working Debian installation on another partition. I'd like to install XFree86 so that I can use DSL and still have correct video.
I have a full hd install of dsl (not frugal), and installed xserver-xfree86 using apt-get. The server installed OK, and I'm pretty sure it is working because if I run the Xfree binary directly, I get the expected startup display.
However, even using dpkg-reconfigure, the install does not update startx or the "X" link, which still start up the default xserver. What do I need to do so that typing startx gives me the same desktop as the default, but using xfree86 as the server rather than xvesa?
I cannot install the XFree86.dsl extension because the machine doesn't have enough memory. I need to install the entire setup to disk.
Thanks for any suggestions, or a pointer to install instructions. I'd just like a way to do manually what the Xfree.dsl extension does using the cloop setup.
