Video does not work on Dell SX280

Hey guys,

I'm trying to load slackware ( Backtrack ) on a dell sx280 with no luck... The VESA driver doesnt work at all and it just hangs up... ( XORG )

Tried setting the res to 800x600 and depth to 16 but still no luck.

I think is has the Intel integrated video from the 915 chip???

ANy suggestions... I want to get this up and running..

Until then I'll keep looking and trying different drivers

Maybe this thread could help:

I found that thread when trying to get my Dell D610 working. I've given up on it since then. I went with a Dell D600 with an ATI video card.

Good luck!
