Hi, Today install AntiX on old notebook HP 2133, but OS display only 640×480, if write in term command “xrandr -q” this print only 640×480 mode. In my opinion this is safe mode – system can’t find the graphics drivers. But older version Debian/Ubuntu and other Linux distros if I’m not mistaken, support this GPU. In this moment is ask for you. How install GPU Driver? I have set 1024×600 resolution. If write post on nad category please for mogę to right category. Thanks for responce and sorry for my terrible english 😁👍

This is probably solvable. Please follow up as Caprea asked with your hardware info.
You could also try the last version of antiX, version 17.4, to see if it makes a difference. If it works on antiX-17.4 that will help figure out where to go next to get it to work on version 19.2.

No problem, thanks for help. I’m waiting for next questions. But, in my area is 11pm and i going sleep 😁
Okay, I see your video is a VIA Chrome 9 from 2008.
Some people have had a hard time getting VIA chips to work in Debian/antiX. But I do have antiX-19.1 (fully upgraded to 19.2) working with a VIA S3 UniChrome from 2006. My VIA chip is different from yours. It is named as CN700/P4M800. It is working with the openchrome driver. Try looking for the openchrome driver and try installing that. It may get your system working.

Is the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome installed on your system ? It should be installed by default, I’m not sure about antiX-base.

Okay, openchrome is installed. But display is never change… Only 640×480 mode is avaiable.
