I tried DSL on my old laptop Ibm phinkpad x360.
After DSL is loaded i see very very bad beacuse the display resolution seems very low. and i can't work
With win 98 i don't have this problem.
(sorry for my bad english)

When you boot up use one of the fb display options at the boot prompt. If your screen is capable of it you can use something like "fb1024x768 "as the first boot option before you put "dsl" and any other command.

You can see all of these options by hitting F2 and F3 at the boot screen.

I try DSL 2.1 on my NEC Versa note with 300MhZ Celeron, 92MB RAM and an 800x600 display. X only works with framebuffer, so I told dsl at the boot propmt the option fb800x600. still, the actual display size is larger than the 800x600. I see no way how to set the resolution to 800x600.:( Somebody has any idea?
