Other Help Topics :: Screen messed up, and

Hey everybody
I've been wanting to get my old Toshiba 3015CT working for awhile, but I hate Windows. So I installed DSL off a USB pen drive using the Floppy Boot Loader. I used DSL-3.0.1-embedded.zip for the pen drive and Bootfloppy-USB.img for the Floppy. It booted fine, but the screen is all green and yellow, with lots of white bands. Has this happened before? What did I do wrong?

See xsetup.sh

Or check the fb/vga bootcodes.

If you hate windows, I suggest trying to run DSL natively rather than embedded. It will run much faster and you won't need windows.

Uhh, what xsetup file?

It's not actually running embedded, it's running off a USB pen drive using a boot floppy. I found a page somewhere in the wiki that said to use the embedded file for USB booting, should I try the non-embedded file?

UPDATE: No, I tried the non-embedded file with the exact same result.

At the very first boot prompt from floppy:

boot: dsl xsetup

Also at the first boot prompt, you can press F2 or F3 and try booting with other vga codes as well.
