just used dsl for the first few times, managed to mount my windows partitions and play some mp3's - all very exciting!one problem tho - the colours are off, big style, what should be yellow is purple and that's all i tied down! tried booting in different colour depth made no diff - was about to try 800x600 res (boo hiss) but dsl wouldn't boot an froze at autoconfig... fix my colours for me!

There is a '-swaprgb' option for the Xvesa server (http://www.xfree86.org/current/Xvesa.1.html) with the following description: "pass RGB values in the order that works on broken BIOSes. Use this if the colours are wrong in PseudoColor and 16 colour modes." I haven't tried it, and I guess that you have to kill the X server and then start it up again more or less manually.

well, the frame buffer video settings works just fine! not tried the xvesa setting you suggested! much better in proper colour!

I tried it on my portable home PC with a similar problem ... and it didn't work.

dsl colors got all mixed when i use 1024x768 res and 16 or 32bit color....but i put the res to 800x600, it worked like a charm...though i still would rather have a bigger res. i think its my graphics card... o well, getting a new one soon
