i have a really old HP Pavilion. no other numbers or anything else that i can see to tell how new it is. It came with windows 98 second edition, btw.

i xvesa server is the only one that works, and even with that, i can not see desktop icons.

when i try and start the xfdev, or the other one besides xvesa, the one with frame buffering for old laptops, it says it can't locate module fb0.

how can i get to see some icons?

or do i really need them?

You can get the icons by typing in:

dsl enhance

at the F2 boot prompt, or you can choose "Enhanced Desktop" from the menu.

You really don't need the icons because all of the programs with icons are also accessable via the Fluxbox "start menu" when you right-click on an empty area of the desktop.

As for the g-links and dillo error, please provide more details about the error message.
