but you probably want to know how much memory it uses rather than its filesize? If so, here is what top stays on my box while Im editing this post in firefox (scite & a couple rxvts also running)...

No I mean static file size...the DSL team had to tweak out much stuff to include the ever so valuable FireFox, in which it brought them a huge leap/bound closer to a full Damn Small Linux 1.0 release...

So overall total 500K and its signature isnt much more than the original xserver..hmmmm

Other than loosing more valuable programs for the video enhancements/performance.  I wonder if the DSL team would even contemplate something like this...

I wonder how much more they could strip out and not go over the minimum 50Meg set limit of DSL...

you think it would be feasable?

Hmmm? Looks like its ~1.5Mb larger than Xfbdev, and it only works with a bunch of old hardware that has the NeoMagic chipset - its no good for anyone with different chipsets, so DSL will still need Xvesa/Xfbdev. Might be a nice .dsl tho for all those old neomagic laptop owners :-)

This thread is deprecated. The Knoppix XF86_SVGA works much better than the XBF or XFCom servers. See the other thread with the title 'XF86_SVGA' for more details.
