Starting in text mode is easy. In /boot/grub/grub.cfg, in the "menuentry" for Damn Small Linux 2024, add "3" at the end of the line that starts with "linux". That means to go to runlevel 3. You can also edit the line in Grub when booting. This should work for any Linux distribution.

xorg-server, xproto, fontsproto.
They don't show in the "apt list" search.
How can I do?
Do you really have to compile from source? There's a package called xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion; try that.
By the way, do apt search, or apt search all, not apt list.
