I am using DSL 3.2 Live CD, but I can´t see the lower panel, and I think the whole desktop it´s not working how it should be. My screen resolution is 1400x900, but there is available only 1400x1050. 1024x768 works, but picture quality is too bad. Graphics card is Nvidia GeForce Go5200. What could be the problem?

I assume you using XFree86.dsl with the nvidia driver from the repo?

You may need to add a modeline to /etc/x11/XF86Config-4

There is no file... Do I have to install drivers?

Installing XFree86 and then nvidia drivers may well fix your problem.

Unfortunately setting up XFree86.dsl can be a little challenging if it's your first time. First get it working with the default vesa driver (then do nvidia).

You'll need to search this forum and read the extension info files for details - sorry I'm very sleepy (yawn)
