Well, I got DSL installed onto a Libretto 110ct very easily via transplant installing, but the video was pretty screwed up. So I switched to Xfbdev, and it looks great... except that the res is way to high for the 800x480 screen, and I can't seem to change the resolution.

I tried running Xfbdev -screen 800x480x24x60(75, 85), not quite sure what the proper refresh rate is but I think it's one of those. That never quite works, as I just get a grey screen with an X for a cursor, and when I ctrl-alt-backspace out of that, I get a brief message flashed: overriden by ACPI (I think... the message is very quick).

I tried running it at first just from a terminal, and realized that I am probably trying to run one X server on top of another, which would be silly. But then I closed out the first x server and tried to run it again from the command line, but it did the same thing.

So.... can someone be kind enough to tell me how to properly change xfbdev's resolution? I'm so close to having this little guy ready to go, and I'm very excited, but I can't seem to figure this hurdle out. Help would be greatly appreciated.

add a bootcode vga=808 and you will have 800x480x24bits

I anything isn't clear let me know & I'll check the settings on my L100

Ah, well, I got it working. Thanks for your help. With that other post I was also able to get my sound working easily (only to realize that the audio jack is about a mm too small for a conventional plug >.>) Just out of curiosity, are you the same andewb that inhabits the Doomworld forums?

No - not me!

You may want to change the version of torsmo in DSL. v0.17 is included, but it can't access the battery status on the L100/110 series as the battery state is in a directory clled MBAT & v0.17 can only cope with names like BAT0, BAT1,... I have a binary of v0.18 wich seems to work OK on my L100, but gives a floating point exception when I use it with an emulator on WinXp. I could post this for testing, or the code is available from the sourceforge page for torsmo.
