Hello,
I try to get Porteus running on an old WYSE Notebook.
It is a ThinClient Notebook with limited space (2GByte IDE-SSD) so my best bet would be Porteus, but I am running into a graphical problem.
The unit is based on the VIA C7M ULV with 1.2GHz
Graphic is Via Chrome 9 (CN896)
I upgraded the unit to 2GByte RAM and able to boot into textmode.
Graphikmode is not working, I am getting a black screen only.
No idea, how to configure the XServer... all of the manpages I found over search are mostly with a death link or old.
Any help are welcome to bring up this old notebook back to life.
Cheers

Re: need help with Xorg
right now I tried it with the official v3.1 only (LXQT and MATE) but I can try it with one of them.
I found drivers from VIATECH (http://download.viatech.com/en/support/ ... Select.jsp) but do not see any usefull ones for SLACKWARE, only SUSE, UBUNTU ect.
A working version so far is EasyPeasy v1.6 which is using openchrome for the XServer but it has a totaly different configuration and I can not install it in case of the 2GByte IDE-SSD.
Cheers and thank you for your Answer
