Hi all,
  I've finally managed to get DSL to boot properly and so far so good (this thing rocks), BUT I can't see all of the desktop.. the max resolution on the laptop I'm using (Toshiba 400CDT) is 800x600x16 (best color depth; it suppors 1024x1280 but color depth sucks). Is there a 'virtual desktop' option in fluxbox that I can turn off? I just want the entire desktop to fit on the screen..

Thanks!

I used to have one of those.
Have you tried...
Code Sample
dsl vga=normal

or you could try this one at the boot screen...
Code Sample
dsl screen=1024x768

Nope.. didn't work..

I'm using a HD install.. so..

I modified lilo.conf (the section that says 'append="..." ')
ran lilo
rebooted

X boots and cursor still shows up centered on the 'virtual' display.. (which actually shows up in the lower-right quadrant of the screen)..

I've also tried vga=normal..

Any other suggestions? I thought maybe there was an X config that I'm missing..

You can try booting with "dsl xsetup" and try out a few different Xvesa resolutions.

If you like your selection, then remove the xsetup boot parameter and your .xserverrc configuration file will automatically be used on your next bootup.
