Other Help Topics :: Screen Colour issues

That's a picture of my screen, sorry about the poor shot.
I've just installed dsl to my hdd, and the screen was the colour when I was using a live cd to install too. Unfortunately I can't see to read on the screen, how would I go about fixing this? I've never really used linux before and never dsl.

Please post your system info, esp. monitor and video specs.

If this is an older laptop, you can probably boot with an fb code and choose the xf86dev on xsetup.

It's a dell latitude CPi pentium 2 300mhz laptop with 128mb of ram.
So pretty old.
I'm afraid I do not know anything specific about the screen and cannot seem to find anything about a dell latitude CPi's screen anywhere on the web.
Is there something I could either type into the terminal and try and read to see screen information and then fix this, or this there something I can just try that might work?

See my last line of my previous post, and check out the wiki page on cheatcodes if you're not sure what's that about.

Note that xsetup can be passed as a bootcode or executed manually as xsetup.sh
