slitaz 4 X windows won't show me the screen need to press alt+f7

Hi.

Have been testing slitaz 4 on neoware ca10 800Mhz 256RAM on a USB stick.

The system works, but everytime I start the system need to press ALT+F7 to get my X windows system.

This is normal or I need to change something?

Video card Radeon 5450, Thanks!!!

My radeon graphics have same problem.

If you prevent tazbox from starting by providing language and kmap info you will boot to the desktop instead of virtual terminal.

From liveCD:

[1]Choose languages menu/select your language

From liveUSB:

[1]Add lang= and kmap= to the end of the append initrd= for the version you boot into.Add the LABEL name to DEFAULT it will choose that entry automatically.

Choose DEFAULT, lang=,kmap= according to your needs.

leafpad  /home/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

DEFAULT core

LABEL core

    MENU LABEL SliTaz core Live

    KERNEL /boot/bzImage

    append initrd=/boot/rootfs4.gz,/boot/rootfs3.gz,/boot/rootfs2.gz,/boot/rootfs1.gz rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin lang=en_US kmap=us

Hi mojo.

I did that change and as soon as my system start, it won't start the X windows system, if I remove the lang=, kmap= my system start with the X system.

  The system start in console, if I want to start the X system it say that VESA won't support 24 depth, no screen to use, etc.

  I didn't change anything related to X system.

  If something not loading?

  The system detec my card:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5430 Series]
