| Quote (markm @ Mar. 07 2006,20:12) | | hseaver, please elaborate on "run the deb2dsl on that XF86_SVGA that you'll find in /usr/bin/x11/ and then mydsl-load XF86_SVGA.dsl " It sounds like your pretty close to having SVGA running. I had installed dsl on my compaq laptop and apt-get installed xserver-common-v3 and xserver-svga but couldn't find the right config files to get SVGA to load. If I get some time this weekend I may try dsl again. Debian/Woody runs so good on this machine, and it was such a b*ch to install, I hate to wipe it out. |
Look on the dsl server for the pdf files (which are the only real documentation I could find) and one of them is how to turn .deb files into .dsl files. Essentially you just need to run "deb2dsl /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA" Of course, you have to have done "apt-get install xserver-svga first (and that will automatically install the xserver-common and other stuff) and you should be able to do this from the CD. During that process it will do a configuration for you. Then look at the message from the laptop forum I posted in the last post and follow that.
I *think* you should be able to get it running from the CD, but I'm not sure. Or you could stick a small cheap used drive into your other machine temporarily and install dsl on that. Thats what I had to do anyway for my laptop since it has no cd.
