User Feedback :: Decent graphics settings on an IBM thinkcentre?

The i845 video is notoriously bad for Vesa graphics support.

Basically, your choices are:

Built-in XVesa server at 640x480x16
Built-in XVesa server at 800x600 or 1024x768 with 8 bit depth and add the -swaprgb command to your .xserverrc file

Install Xfree86 and use the appropriate driver, probably the i810 driver.

Good Luck.

I think its path problem.

check the dsl config file. i have the feeling its NOT /usr/X11R6/..... if thats the case substitute the path in the knoppix version to the correct path in dsl environment.

I dont know much but just trying to help. sorry to see you missing the dsl coolness becoz of minor display config issue.

Actually, I'm afraid cbagger is correct.

He has the dreaded IEG. Intel "Extreme" Graphics.

The "extreme" means extremely sucky. Basically, it's a glorified framebuffer device.
