My big problem is that i'm trying to reduce the screen resolution on my laptop. it's at the default 1024x768 but i need 800x600 so i can see the bottom. i've tried xsetup.sh but nothing happens when i rebooted. I'm on an AMD K6 380 with 64MB RAM and 4GB HD. I recently erased 98SE prior to installing DSL.

You'll want to right click on the desktop and go to System>X Setup

That should allow you to choose your screen resolution. You'll probably need a reboot to set it, though I dont remember.

As for your registration problem, everything is case sensitive, so make sure you're using the same that you signed up with.

you will need to restart x after this with startx....

For those pesky icons that just won't work...,
look in your /home/dsl directory for a file called re_xtdesk.pl
Run it.. It forces a rebuild of your desktop...

And on the laptop resolution question...
When you bootup, does the text output scroll off the bottom of the screen?

If so, try booting with the fb800x600 at the prompt..
Then, when you are in xsetup, select 800x600...
Then you won't see the penguin off-center on your desktop...
