Hi, I'm trying to get a ubuntu OS running on an old laptop I recently aqquired. After failing to run lubuntu out-of-the-box, I've reinstalled as a command-line OS, and have manually installed the DE and File Manager.
However, The computer freezes on a black screen when I try to run startX. When I try X - Configure, It gives me the following error:
number of created screens does not match number of detected devices
Which I assume has been my problem so far.
This is a windows 98 era device, and I assume the odd monitor specs are causing the issue. The monitor is a 16-colour 640x480 LCD. (It may be useful to note that TinyCoreLinux works well on the system)
Does anybody have an Idea of what I can do to make Xorg configure correctly?
