for some reason in dsl, I cannot get it to do any color depth greater than 8 bits. I've run xsetup.sh as root and selecting a depth changed nothing.

Try one of the framebuffer modes.

At the Boot: prompt, type fb800x600, fb1024x768, or fb1280x1024.

I just tried the fb1280x1024 (my moniter definatly goes that high) setting, and X won't even start.

this machine also has limited ram - 64 MB.
the cpu is an old celeron medecino @ 500Mhz
some generic 10 GB hard drive @ 5400 rpm
