Hello all,

I am trying to install DSL 2.1b onto a compaq 1235 laptop (486 w/98meg ram) and am having an issue with the display.  it loads with it all messed up like a screen door.  I have tried to change the resolution, load with fb800x600 without success.  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Maybe try booting with vga=normal option?
Then select 800x600 when prompted.

What video card does this use?
