Try booting with this command at the boot prompt:

fb800x600

or maybe:

dsl vga=normal xsetup

and then try XVesa at some different resolution settings like 800x600x16bit
for example.

similar issue,

DSL cd runs on my desktop system just fine but on my laptop I get as far as the "press return to boot" screen and then I get a blank screen.

However if I try with the arguement:

dsl vga=normal xsetup

I get as far as uncompressing Linux...ok booting the kernel
_

with the above underscore blinking and nothing after that.

i've also tried the arguements:

noapm and

dsl noapic also have tried vga=safe and the frame buffer options.

Same with my box. CD starts on some other PCs. (so it´s not damaged, i guess)
Knoppix LiveCD starts OK.
Any hints ?
