I have acquired a Sony Vaio PCG-FX103. This is an old Pent 3 machine with 512 ram. I have installed Slitaz 3 stable. The desktop does not fill the screen and is about half size. It is all there and working but just small. How can I get it to fill the screen properly. The graphics chip is Intel 82815.
I get the same problem on other Linux distros but Puppy Wary and Antix work fine, full screen. However I prefer Slitaz
Don't get full screen on Sony Vaio

offlineKey MasterXorg server version 7.4+ doesn't auto-detect the display panel on Sony laptops with the 82815 graphics.
Slitaz iso includes VESA generic video driver only,quality not as good but should configure.
Slitaz has to have internet connectivity to install linux-agp and allow tazx to download intel video drivers and there depends.
