What is it Santa's"Naughty" list ?

With xres=800x600 : screen is good but monitor is too small.

I try the 3 Windows managers.

Is it possible to change parameter(s) before or after running one of 3 windows managers?

It's strange that Antix runs on old PC but not on old associated monitors!

Finally, something I know a little bit about.

On my 22 incher crt in the Motorcycle shop. I use

Code: Select all

xrandr -s 1024x768
in all startup files in JWM, Icewm, and Fluxbox. This worked in Mate and RazorQT when I played with them also.

Do yours with the resolution you want on the crt you have.

My netbook lcd video resolutions available only as a example

Code: Select all

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 4096 x 4096
LVDS1 connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x600       53.3*+
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        59.9  
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Right now do not worry about the USB. You need to run"inxi -F" in the terminal, then copy-n-paste in your reply so we can see everything in it.

Then use the proper F key at live boot and select mount all. I am not remembering which F key it is at live grub boot screen.

Make your text file from inxi -F. Then copy text file to usb using spacefm. Then copy and paste what is in text file to next post. No wonder your posts have been so short when
giving the requested readouts asked for.

You might want to go with the vesa driver instead tdfx.

Try through antixcc>system>edit config files and go to grub and add

Code: Select all

resolution=800x600
to the end of the kernel line entry. That is all I can think of since you say xrandr -s is not working for you though I find that strange since it works for me.
