Yesterday I found my old ASUS EEE PC 901 in the garage. So I copied dsl-2024.rc7.iso on a Ventoy stick and tried to install it on the EEE PC.
Booting DSL with the default xorg=safe in the GRUB2 command line allows to install DSL on the little machine, but the 800x600 display is not usable. So I tried a new install from the Ventoy stick with xorg=fbdev, but then I ended up with a black screen.
By the way: Ventoy uses the 1024x600 display almost correctly. (The language setting menu point is written over annother menu point. But the L works neverthelss (for selecting German).)
It's not a terrible issue, because I am just playing. But in this forum I didn't find any mentioning of the EEE PC 901. So I just added this report to this thread.
