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
