I tried both "failsafe" and "dsl dma" and didn't have any luck with the cpu usage. Strangely the only time it dipped under 100 percent was when I opened an application. Accidentally typed "foolsafe" which afterward seemed appropriate, but that didn't help either. Dsl-4.0 works great on my old pentium III laptop, though.

I forgot to add that in the case of the "failsafe" cheatcode I got dumped to the limited shell because Knoppix couldn't be found. "DMA" just still had the high cpu usage.

For many the 100% cpu usage was caused by Xvesa, could you try Xfbdev?

(boot with "dsl xsetup" and select Xfbdev)

With the removal of Xtdesk, could you please also remove /usr/X11R6/bin/emelfm (renaming emelfm.bin)?
The wrapper is apparently no longer needed, yet it still prevents the use of a directory argument on the command unless you call emelfm.bin
