On a DELL Latitude CPi (NEOMAGIC graphic chip) I got DSL to work when using the cheatcode "xsetup"  (xfbdev). I tried both FRUGAL and DEBIAN HD Install, but I had no success when  using xsetup.sh to configure XWindow.
I'm always getting a screen in light green with white characters. Any idea how to fix this ? What are the files which are configuring XWINDOW?
Going back to the consol with CTL-ALT-BACKSPACE lets the same screen colors behind, the screen isn't going back to black/white.

Boot with the following cheatcodes and choose Xfbdev.

Code Sample
dsl vga=788


NeoMagic cards are very grumpy sometimes. I have the same graphics chipset on my thinkpad, and it works. (I also have a CPi, but the board is fried~)

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
