You are successfully logged in, but you have trouble with the graphical system.

try F2 at the boot: prompt to see various settings you could try. dsl vga=normal might work? <--guessing I can't remember what options you have.

Try booting with this command:

dsl xsetup

and first try choosing the Xfbdev server and see if it works.

You can also try a bunch of different Xvesa video resolutions until you find one that works. Start with 800x600x16bit
