btw its a laptop with a 1mb neomagic card, i have installed the os onto my hd, creating 2 partitions - swap being 48MB, i have tried xsetup.sh and tried both xvesa and xfbdev but sadly all i get is this mess of vertical lines and pixels, i can see the gui underneath all this mess but not clear enough to make out anything except that their is a browser initialised, i hope this is not tooo confusing, as i tend to waffer on all the time and just cant stop myself, ooo

help me plz

xfbdev should work if you were able to boot with a frame buffer (Little Penguin Icon in the upper left corner before text starts scrolling).

xvesa probably won't work if your video card does not support the VESA 2.0 standard (probably true if the video card is older than 1993)

Good Luck.
