Blue Screen in X

#1 Post by JoshCougle »

Hi, I hope this is an easy fix...

I can get into puppy (it seems to only boot about 1 out of three times and I'm thinking that's related) but I can't start xorg and when in Xvesa, I go to "exit to prompt" or "reboot" and it immediately goes to a blue box in the middle of the screen and nothing is visible in the box. However, if I clicked on "exit to prompt", I can type in xwin (even though I don't see it) and get back into Xvesa. I think that somehow my display resolution outside of X is messed up, but that is only my very novice opinion :) .

I have a Dell Latitude CS series with a P3-500, 128mb, running the newest livecd of puppy, and an intel wireless pcmcia card.
