Is it possible to boot Porteus in some basic video driver (vesa? framebuffer?)

should be possible. save your custom config as /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot.
check /var/log/packages to see which drivers are available by default. if something is missing then can be added from slackware-14.1 repo or must be compiled manually.

yes I can generate xorg.conf then replace 'intel' with 'vesa' but I was thinking about some cheatcode.
Im going to boot porteus CD on very old pentium3 laptop.

use 'cliexec=' to move /etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
check cheatcodes.txt for correct syntax. i think it will be:
Code: Select all
cliexec=mv~/etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa~/etc/X11/xorg.conf
