That was better but still the color is yellow and the icons are not showing up.

If I try 640x480 16-bit (either with cheatcode 785 or by setting up in xsetup on boot choosing Xvesa) it works flawlessly and I get my icons, and color is great.  But the screen is quite small.

But, if I try 800x600 (16-bit or 8-bit makes no difference) then I get the yellowish screen and no icons.  Very wierd.

(I tried the XFree86 a bit but couldn't get it to boot with the config file I made with xf86config package - maybe I will have to keep trying that if I can't get this to work)

Try the framebuffer one more time from the CD:

boot: fb800x600 base norestore

and choose framebuffer

I get the undefined mode number error again.  I choose option '0' and then after xsetup (choosing Xfbdev) I get same modprobe error again.   :(

Some machines will require XFree86.
I have one like that too. Using the default tiny X server I get a small screen with wide black borders.  Using the full XFree86 then I can get full screen.
