I'm trying to install SliTaz on an old ThinkPad 390E.
Specs:
333 MHz Mobile Pentium II (Dixon PII core)
192MB RAM
Neomagic NM2200 2.5 MB
ESS Solo-1 Audio chipset
After booting with a live CD I cannot boot into X until I follow these instructions:
login as root, then run
# tazx
Select: Install or reconfigure xorg
Select: neomagic
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf:
# sed -i 's/vesa/neomagic/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf
as a regular user:
$ startx
Then I can install it, and when I reboot back into it I have to repeat the procedure above to log into X again. This time though instead of the normal desktop I get a brown screen with a mouse cursor. I can right click to show the openbox menu, but none of the options work except "activate composite" which turns the background grey. I can then select "stop effects" and it turns back brown.
Any Ideas on how to get a normal desktop?
Thanks
