I made myself a CD with DSL on it and booted it up on a:

Dell Latitude CP
Pentium MMX 233
64MB Ram
3.2GB HDD

The video card is a NeoMagic 2160. It has 2MB of video memory, which was always more than enough. Yet, when I bootup with DSL, everything is yellow/green as though there is no red or blue in anything. Any ideas?

I have the same problem.

Did you find a solution?

You might have to use Xfree86.dsl, or set bits to 16 or higher

I'm totally noob when it comes to this Linux stuff. Where would I find XFree86.dsl ?
