Slitaz 3.0 using Xorg does not support my video.
  • bitsplashbitsplash March 2010
    Slitaz 1.0 and slitaz 2.0 supported my video card.

    Slitaz 3.0 switched from xvesa to Xorg and suddenly i have no xwindows.

    After checking I find that the i752 (intel 82815) chips are not supported by Xorg.
    Also there are other people complaining on the web of this, just google i752 & xorg.
    I can use slitaz in console mode only. Is there anyway to fix this?

    Hi bitsplash

    Try using the xvesa flavor: http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/flavors.html

    xvesa boots up to gui, but am unable to switch to tty1-tty6 using keys
    For example pressing ctrl-alt-f1 still leaves me on the gui desktop. :(

    well... apparently the xvesa gives me a gui, but then i cannot do anything... as my keyboard apparently no longer works once the gui boots up. :: sigh:: I have enjoyed using slitaz these past 2 years, but I am going to try to find something else to replace it. Version 3 in my particular case does not even work as well as version 2 and version 1. Because of this I have no choice but to switch distro's as I can no longer afford to spend an entire day trying to figure out why something doesnt work. I do wish you all much luck with slitaz, and I will miss it, but unfortunately I do not have the expertise to fix it this time. Have great fun with it. :) Goodbye.
