Quote (azurehi @ Feb. 02 2007,16:51) | Thanks, Ron. I believe DSL is beyond me: after getting the same result again, tried vga=normal; got odd screen with vertical stipes, faint, unreadable text. |
You shouldn't have those kinds of problems if you use the proper resolution setting. Make sure you're setting up the right resolution setting for your monitor when xsetup.sh starts (the configuration script that runs before starting X). You'll get a messed up screen like you described if you choose the wrong resolution. If your monitor only supports 800x600, choose 800x600 instead of anything else. And like the script says, skip/ignore DPI if you don't know what you're doing.
DSL should work, and a whole lot faster, if that other distro you named does if you set it up properly.
