Hello, I am running DSL on a old 04' Dell Inspiron 9200 (Pentium M 1.7Ghz with ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 Pro and 2GB of DDR1 333mhz) and for some reason I am stuck at a resolution of 1440x900. I go into ArandR to change the res and 1440x900 is the best it gives me. (The screen installed is a WUXGA 60hz 1920x1200). Any Ideas as to how to use my full resolution? Is it potentially a driver issue with the 9600?

i have installed dsl on virtualbox & everything is working except i can't add guest additions to enable shared folders etc.?

does anyone have any suggestions

I would like to be able to install dsl to a usb stick so have fully installed os to use on multiple pc's
is this possible? & if so how would i go about achieving this 

Hello dear John,

I use the last version of DSL, and it is a very good distro ;-).
So, a big THANK TO YOU, JOHN !

Very great idea to offer us the mutt e-mail client.
I have tested it and, it'ld seem that libsasl2-modules (libsasl2-modules - Cyrus SASL - pluggable authentication modules) is needed to sent a mail. This package offers the commons authenticators (TEXT, PLAIN, LOGIN,...).
In fact, before libsasl2-modules is installed, i was unable to send a message.
After libsasl2-modules's installation, the sending is OK.

Can I ask you to provide the installation of this package during the next release?

Other point: Cli-Aptix
When updating with Apt Update, APT returns the following alert:
"Checking source files ...
It appears that at least one list file is missing"

Last point: the default theme
The default theme is well suited to the default wallpaper.
But, it is too dark and it is not possible to read the Firefox menus, for example.

with all my friendships

Phil

Bonjour cher John,

Très bonne idée de nous proposer le client e-mail mutt.
Je l'ai testé et il semble que libsasl2-modules soit nécessaire pour envoyer un courrier. Ce paquet propose les authentificateurs communs (PLAIN, TEXT, LOGIN,...).
En fait, avant que libsasl2-modules ne soit installé, je n'ai pas pu envoyer de message.
Après l'installation de Libsasl2-Modules, l'envoi est OK.

Puis-je te demander de prévoir l'installation de ce paquet lors de la prochaine release ?

Autre point : CLI-APTIX
Lors de la mise à jour avec apt update, apt renvoie l'alerte suivante :
"Checking source files ...
It appears that at least one list file is missing"

Dernier point : le thème par défaut
Le thème par défaut est bien adapté au fond d'écran par défaut.
Mais, il est trop sombre et il n'est pas possible de lire les menus de Firefox, par exemple.

Avec toutes mes amitiés.

Hi there. Just getting started and things are going OK so far - but one issue is the mouse settings won't open. Everything else works OK.

I'm using an EeePC and the trackpad mouse is super slow on the current settings. I can plug in a mouse and an external mouse is much faster, but I'd like to use the trackpad most of the time. Is there a way to use terminal perhaps? Thanks!

Hi, ran DSL on several systems WAY back, fantastic.

Just came across this reboot via youtube Action Retro channel and thought I'd check it out since I have way too many old and older computers still around.

My question is, since this relies a lot on AntiX (yes?), what's the advantage of this vs. AntiX?   Is it mainly/only so it'll fit on a CD, vs. a DVD?

Thank you.
Rich

If I have saved configs and preferences and whatnot for classic DSL, will they work with DSL 2024?

Hi fellows,

I have installed ClamAV but I am getting an ERROR when I try to scan:
"LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir: No supported database files found in var/lib/clamav"

I would appreciate any suggestion.

Hi fellows,

Is it possible to have a screensaver other than a blank screen? 
I have a HD DSL installation.

Thanks

I am getting Zathura with a black screen, it does not load any file.
