Damn Small Linux colors messed up.

[oosterhouse]

I run DSL off a livecd on my pc and my laptop and on both the colors are screwed up, how can I fix this? I've looked around alot and I can't really find an answer.

You probably need to run it with a different vsync, and/or hsync , or a different resolution setting. Check the cheatcode options that are available through your F-keys just before the CD begins to boot.

I'll try that, thanks.

I got my dsl colors working now, thanks.

New question: when I boot into dsl on my old laptop it doesnt connect to the internet, because I have this pc card that goes in the slot and then the cable runs into that. Would I need software for this card?

[TheBigPhish]

depends if this card is supported natively in the DSL disk.

what kind of card is it?

[oosterhouse]

I went to the PC Card Control and it says:

Under Status:

Socket 1:
5V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]

Under Config:

Socket 1:
VCC 5.0V Vpp1 0.0V Vpp2 0.0V


But the internet does not work. Any ideas?

And under identity it says:

Socket 1:
product info: "network everywhere", "fast ethernet 10/100 PC Card", "3.0", "AX88190"
Manfid: 0x0149, 0xc1ab
function: 6 (network)

How did you manage to solve the problem of messed up colors?

Could you please explain me how to fix the resolution of the live CD for DSL?

Rgds,

I went to F2 or F3 when the the DSL livecd boots and I figured out which vga I needed basically by trial and error/guessing. I ended up using "vga=787" when I booted. So where it says boot: I just put in vga=787. You might have to put dsl infront of that, I forget..I haven't used dsl in a while. Hope that helps.
