Problem with Live CD

I created a live CD from the iso file. When I ran it on my Gateway AMD64 4200+ computer it loaded fine, but there were weird graphics problems.

When I booted the CD on a Dell Pentium computer it PClinuxOS booted up in a no-graphics mode (login screen was like a terminal).

I am not an experienced linux user. If there is some setting I can change to fix the problem please let me know.

Is there any way to install the CAElinux suite on another linux operating system?

Thanks

Hi,

this problem seems to be due to fault in the graphic card detection / configuration script. You can circumvent the problem by configuring your display manually.
1) First option:
when booting from DVD, in the boot prompt, type:
livecd xdrv=vesa xres=1024x768 xbpp=16
2) second option:
after a \"failed\" boot up, in a terminal:
From the command prompt type:

xf86cfg

or

xf86config

and configure your display, graphic card etc.. according to your hardware. If you don't know: use VESA driver and a generic display (1024x768 at 70hz for example).
When it's done, run the graphic environment with:

startx

This second solution can also serve when booting from a hdd install, so if this problem happens after install, just follow these steps!!
