I've been using Live-CD and USB DSL on different computers. I've been viewing it through cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, and I constantly see the colors as incorrect. For one thing, the Dillo browser that opens shows a bluish penguin instead of the typical, white Linux penguin. I don't know why this is happening. The bootscreen recognizes the monitor, but it often says it wants me to choose from a setting of things, which includes babble about scanlines and some eighty-by-something settings. I don't understand it, but I don't know if it has anything to do with color.

Has anyone else had this color problem with monitors?
How do I solve it?

Usually you either need to boot with

- a fb###x### code and choose the xfbdev server (by running xsetup)
or
- something like "dsl vga=###"

See the wiki page on cheatcodes and related page.

I actually solved this problem by playing with xvesa.

Go to Desktop->right click->system->xvesa

I've been trying to figure this out too.  My problem is that I only have one choice with the Xvesa menu that pops up: 640x480x16.  The colors look great, but at that resolution the programs are totally unusable.

How do I modify Xvesa to give me more choices?
