Video Resolution to small how to make it bigger?
after i ran knoppix-installer im only allowed to selected 640x480 in debian now and a savage video card is detected during boot.

Surely there is some tool in that massive Kcontrol thing for adjusting the resolution. Otherwise you can do it like a real Linux geek and edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. If your resolution was fine when booted to cd you can also copy the XF86Config-4 from cd to your hdd install.

If you know the specifications of your hardware (video card model and memory and monitor refresh rates), you can run the command "xf86config" to get things set up properly. First, back up your current configuration:
Code:
mv /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.old
Then start "xf86config" There is a step by step guide here: http://www.bitbenderforums.com/vb22/...?postid=313121 I know the guide says Slackware, but it works the same in Debian/Knoppix. I would suggest trying the generic vesa video driver first when you come to that option. Just make sure that you have the correct refresh rates and resolutions set up. If xfree86 thinks the monitor can't support higher resolutions, it will not let you switch to those, and obviously it won't let you switch to higher resolutions if there are none there. Good Luck!

kxconfig
