yes my laptop works great with windows , Knoppix and morphix but these distros are too big I like the fact that DSL is very small

try everything...start at 640x480x4b to maximal res of your notebook...or try framebuffer server (the first one in the X config wizard...)

Now, I just went and did a fancy HD install on this thing, and it works great in framebuffer mode. However, the res on it is 1024x768, and this Thinkpad 380XD doesn't fit that - it only fits 800x600 - how do I set it up so that it boots into that fancy thing you were talkinga bout with those modes or whatever, so it boots into framebuffering of 800x600 ?

I tried with the xvesa with all combos of 800x600 and every depth from 4bit to 32bit and none of them worked - I got wierd coloured vertical lines across the screen that made it so you couldn't see anything. Any suggestions ?
