Thanks for those ideas and hints.
In reading elsewhere (the Xfree86 site and particularly Thomas Winischhofer's site on SIS Xorg and Linux), I think the old HP's SIS chipset is my major problem and the old computer requires the "sis" driver and only the "sis".
Apparently this chipset did not support vesa which explains why that option did nothing. I'll check the Xvesa -lstmodes query nonetheless.
I'll also look into the BIOS options, just in case there are some that may help.
As I can't access the net with the 4 bit colour DSL, what are the options to install the Xfree86 package, or any other DSL package for that matter? The HP has net access via Ubuntu and W98SE.
Thanks again.
