| - | By default, SliTaz v3 uses Xorg 7.4 with the //xorg-xf86-video-vesa// v2.0.0 driver. This basic driver can cause problems with certain hardware combinations and can sometimes result in a very low resolution. Occaisionally, X does not start at all and instead falls back to the log-in screen or to a text-based prompt.

| - | The xorg-xf86-video-vesa 2.0.0 driver has a lot of trouble with Intel chips. For exmaple, on a 82945GM chipset it does not display 1280x1024 and 1024x768, but 1600x1200 is not a problem. | + | The xorg-xf86-video-vesa 2.0.0 driver has a lot of trouble with Intel chips.

| Use "tazx" to select the intel driver, then "tazhw detect-pci", solve the dri problem and load drm and restart X - normally that's it (perhaps you must change your xorg.conf too). | Use "tazx" to select the intel driver, then "tazhw detect-pci", solve the dri problem and load drm and restart X - normally that's it (perhaps you must change your xorg.conf too). | ||
