green and yallow screen
dan0804smith:
i have finally got tiny core to work on my laptop (dell 300mhz 64mb ram 2mb video) via cd rom. the problem is that when i get to the desktop everything is green and yellow. its is almost as if it is 2bit graphics. it is very difficult to make out any of the icons and it seems as and the text is also unreadable. does anyone know whats going on here. i have to type in tinycore ide-nodma=1.0 in order for it to boot. i dont know if that makes any difference.

Exit to a prompt ( via shutdown button or <CTL><Backspace> ) and run xsetup

Hi dan0804smith
You don't mention what resolution or how many colors you are trying to run at. I don't believe you
have a bit rate problem. If you did, your display would be tearing or you would have multiple images.
Try adding the boot code xvesa=800x600x16 just to see if you get a legible display.
