Do you see 1 or 2 little penguins appear in the upper corner after you are past the boot screen?
If not, you need to start DSL with a different framebuffer mode. Maybe boot with "fb800x600" command, for example.
Also, you could try and use the Xvesa server instead of the xfbdev server.
After getting the error message, type:
xsetup.sh
(Choose Xvesa settings)
startx |
When booting up I see one penguin in the top left corner (after loading of mini root).
Xvesa is loaded by default, but I tried reconfiguring, as you suggested, using xsetup.sh.
After this I ran startx, but got the message:
giving up
xinit: connection refused (errno 111)
xinit: unable to connect to X Server
Anyway, I'm giving up and going home now (!), but thanks for the suggestion, and any further advice would be welcome.
(BTW, I'm using the bootusb-0.8.img)

After failing to get my USB memory stick to load the X Server on Monday I took it home, together with the boot floppy, and DSL booted up first time on my computer at home. 
I guess I must have a problem with my computer hardware at work.

Does anyone know how I could try to locate the problem and fix it? 
Thanks,
