Installation doubts

[x18]

Many thanks to both of you for being helpful.

Code:

[    66.151] (EE) SMI(0): Not enough video memory for the configured screen size (1024x1024) and color depth.

This is the problem, I think. Run xrandr and choose as low a resolution as possible. Then run xrandr --mode 800x600 (for example) to set it.

It doesn't matter that the partitions aren't in order. It doesn't make much sense to have an extended partition with only one logical partition in it, but it's not a problem.

I wonder where does that 1024x1024 come from. It's the resolution of a tile, isn't it?

Is it possible to run xrander without X working? It gives me "can't open display". And export DISPLAY=:0 doesn't work.

My extended partition had six partitions inside. I had to delete them along with the primary /boot in order to install DSL.
That's because it seems it's not possible to install DSL on a multi-partitioned disk via command line (cli-installer): no space left on device. [ please-please-please put it as a first entry in your to-do list].
On my disk there are also two existing primary NTFS partitions for Win2000, so I had the only choice to make another primary for DSL and put the swap into the extended.


/dev/dri/card0 has never been created so far.
