I'll try tomorrow Anti. Hope it does. I really do. __{{emoticon}}__

You could also try F4 - vesa and type xres=1024x768

I think the problem is with the xorg-savage-driver. Maybe it is broken in Jessie.

The F* keybinds were meant to be commented out and used as examples. Will fix.

Shucks Bro. I tried

Code: Select all

vga=normal
In F5 vesa and safe. No change. Vesa was 1600x1200 with no way to change resolution with out making the screen unreadable or freezing up the laptop.

Then tried

Code: Select all

vga=1024x768 xorg=savage
That got me through the gui installer process though the cpu was hammering. My grub4dos idea of running and installing AntiX grub install to root also worked out.

Here is the good ,(think of the good and the bad and the ugly Italian western western movie with Clint Eastwood).

Image

putting this line of code from /var/log/Xorg.0.log because I think it says a lot of my situation with the save driver when you google the error. I read a little about it in archbang forums dated about a year ago.

Code: Select all

The error I googled is first line below
43.191] (II) SAVAGE(0): Not using driver mode"1024x768" (hsync out of range)
<snip> The rest is just generic information
43.355] (II) Unloading vesa
<snip>
43.453] (II) SAVAGE(0): 3096 kB of Videoram needed for 3D; 16384 kB of Videoram available
<snip>
Here is my Xorg.0.log



Maybe later I will post pics of the"bad" and"ugly" later. I had to use my camera to take those images. I thought a full install would be better than live. But at least with a full install.
I can tweak things from suggestions made later on.
Right now. AntiX full install is unusable as you can gather from my screenshot. Which was not as easy to do as you think since my screen did not look like that. I took it when I did the"bad" camera shot.. You will wonder how I managed it after I post the photographs later on.

At least ram usage was low as 69MB. __{{emoticon}}__

Here is the Bad and Ugly Like I promised. Brownie points or Gold Stars awarded to those who figure out how I took a screenshot.

Here is how I handled it. I hooked up hard line ethernet 1st. Then modified kernel line in grub4dos menu entry to boot me into ro 3. Then ran smxi without the dist-upgrade. sgfxi gave me no joy. I tried updating xorg while in smxi and all it did was upgrade xorg and install wdm as the login manager. So I removed wdm since there
was a scrambled log in screen to deal with anyways and changing kernel line to ro 3 at the end just brought up wdm instead of cli screen on boot. So I changed kernel line to ro 1. Then proceeded to

So where I am sitting at now. I have a 1024x768 screen running the vesa driver. No wireless because wicd is not cooperating and ceni does not pick up my mac or ip address after typing in my wpa2 pass phrase.
So posting this on ethernet cable. Rutilt is not installed according to terminal but the button is there in the antixcc.

I feel pretty good about figuring things out this far on my own. Way too many hoops for a new linux user though to go through with a laptop with savage video chip and AntiX 14. Now to just figure out why wicd does dbus error using the antixcc>network>wicd and gksu wicd also. I removed wicd.pid in /var/run/wicd/wicd.pid
testing trying to get wicd-gtk to work. After this post. I will try reinstalling wicd and all other things related to it like wicd-gtk and install wick-cli. Also. While on cable. I will do a

The D missing at the beginning of document write line in wicd.log is not a copy and paste error by me.
The log shows up that way in leafpad using root spacefm.

Edit: I see I forgot to mention. Installing rutilt was just a fubar route that should not have been taken. Lots of popup windows of errors like a Windows machine with a virus so I uninstalled rutilt.

WDM login screen and Icewm-roxpinboard pictures I took while the savage driver was still installed if anyone is interested.

Got tired of logging in via Command line. WDM was the default Login Manager after I did the xorg upgrade.
So after uninstalling WDM.

I changed

Code: Select all

gksu leafpad / etc/X11/default-display-manager/
from

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/wdm
to

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/slim
WICD is still kicking my ass though. I can't go with Network-Manager as that wishes systemd libs to be installed to run it. Just try installing it and you will get the idea.

Later on. I will post screenshots on how Ceni is ignoring me. Maybe someone has a clue.

@D.O. It is a full install Bro. Here is what Ceni gives me.

The fail screen comes up next.

So no love from Wicd or Ceni as far as wireless goes. But the kernel has everything going. Except for
Failed to load p80211.ko
Anti? Maye a flag is missed in 3.18? Just guessing.

i'll find out later. I tried another card. A Belkin F5D7010 ver 6 wireless g I have been running in AntiX for ages.
Ceni gave me the same error but now on wlan1 since I changed the card.

I will give your link a go though.
