Hi,I tried a dozen Live CDs of which ten have a GUI and only one that i can use on my main computer: Damn Small Linux (DSL)! I don't have much to say about it yet since i've spent most of my time over trying to force 800x600x16 @56.25 Hz resolution but i don't despair. I enter "dsl vga=788 vsync=56.25" but this gets me to one of my choices where VESA is 1024x768x32 and the other leads to an error about mister Mud or something - i'll bet that's Harry, Harry Mud (Trekkie reference), euh... Thanks for trying so hard anyway! I was quite impressed and specially when i started DownLoading stuff which worked right at once! Posted by cbagger01 on Mar. 05 2006,06:10
If you are using a VESA graphics mode, you will be unable to run at anything other than the VESA 2.0 standard refresh rate, IE: 60HzHowever, you can always install the XFree86.dsl extension and configure it for your video card and desired refresh rate. |
