wrong configuration on bootForum: X and Fluxbox Topic: wrong configuration on boot started by: 78santo Posted by 78santo on June 11 2005,02:14
Hi guys, finally I can boot DSL on my toshiba libretto! but... now I have a problem, I canīt use it because the monitor configuration is wrong and is impossible to read it. There is some way to fix this? I have downloaded the correct XFree86 configuration file and perhaps I can load DSL with the correct configuration but, how?Also I have the driver but obviously I canīt load it :-( Thanks in advance for your replys and time.

DSL doesn't have xfree86.You can use xsetup.sh to set the proper X settings, or pass the setting setting directly from the Boot: prompt with one of the vga=XXX cheats detailed on the F3 screen. Posted by linux_gal on June 28 2005,18:05
I am very lucky. All my computers work with DSL,but everytime I go to show it off, I run into problems. Mostly video. One is a 1 year old DELL, and I'm not at it right now to report the hardware in it. The other is this older GATEWAY SOLO... I'm hoping somebody else who tinkers has an easy solution.
