   I have followed the instructions given here

   http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/slitaz-just-start-in-text-mode

   and my Dell C400 still stays in text mode
   After i run tazx i get

   list of video drivers
   intel
   vesa
   (++) using cnfig file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
   (==) using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
   Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices
   configuration failed

   this is a 83830 intel
   With the previous (3.0) it was at least startng (though with the wrong definition, which i have not been able to solve either)

   Tx

   i did some investigations and found here

   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/linux/XF86Config-4.c400

   an xorg.conf file for the C400
   it should solve a number of issues including, reserving more ram for video shared memory (defaut is 1M which is not sufficient)
   i renamed it as /root/xorg.conf.new
   then i run tazx to reconfigure (i do not NOT try to load the intel driver anymore at this stage since that prevented from finding the right number of devices)

   It does not work as expected

   It seems to be taken into account, but then at the very end of the log, it is not (i can tell because not enough memory is reserved, the conf file tries tor reserve about 32MB which is the maximum, whild actually only the default ~800 kb are reserved - see first line of the log)

   furthermore, it cannot even start the 640*480 mode (which was working with the previous 3.0 version).

   Here is how the xorg.0.log looks like (well the end of it)
