Hmm, no idea then. I suppose you could check 'xset q' for the colors.

If I type fb640x480 at boot: then I get this:
Could not find kernel image: fb640x48.0
and it puts me back to the boot: prompt.

If I do the "dsl xsetup vga=769" at boot:
then it boots, then when xsetup.sh comes up, if I chose fbdev, then when X tries to come up I get:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module fb0
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

If I use xvesa in xsetup.sh instead, then the results are the same as before, the xsri cannot run.

I also tried fb800x600 at the boot: prompt, and the results were EXACTLY the same as when I used "dsl xsetup vga=769", that is vfbdev would give a modprobe error, and xvesa allowed XWindows to come up, but no xsri.

In both cases, I get this during the boot process:
You passed an undefined mode number.
Press <RETURN> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 secs

Any ideas?
