Debian 6 LXDE is successfully installed and it works with a decent speed, better then I expected.
Problem is with a resolution, actually, screen is not completely used,
about 1/3 of the screen is black, and in the middle is GUI.
Tried with a Puppy 5.1, same issue, probably the same generic driver is being used.
On the attached picture is screenshot how does it look like.
VGA card is Tridend Microsystem CyberBlade/i1
Same problem had a while ago when installed LXDE on another old labtop (I think some Acer model).
I have found a proposed solution like this:
- Edit /etc/default/grub with this:
Code: Select all
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
Code: Select all
$ update-grub
Didn't work, same resolution 800x600 is present and screen is not fully in use as on the picture.
