I installed DSL on a Toshiba Satellite 115cs (Same as a 110 according to Toshiba). I did a HD Install. However XWindows looks HORRIBLE, the colors are wrong. However, when I use an external monitor, everything looks fine. Here are the specs from Toshiba:
Video Specs:
------------
Video Memory 1MB
Speed 60NS
Controller Chip C&T65548
Bus Type: Vesa Local Bus
Graphics Accelerator: BitBLT Support
Color Palette: 262,144 colors
Internal Resolution: 800x600x256 colors
Refresh Rate(Vet/Hor) 75HZ/60HZ
External Resolution: 800x600 64k colors
1024x768 256 colors.

This was from toshiba's site (pdf)
---------------------------------------
I tried running xsetup.sh. When I choose xfbdev I get the following error when i run startx
XIO fatal IO error 104

otherwise if I choose the other choice of Xvesa I get bad colors.

Thanks, john

you get bad colors choosing xvesa 800x600 16bit? If you get an 'undefined mode' error at boot try booting with dsl vga=normal.

Have you tried 800x600 @ 16-bit resolution?
