Celeron 566 Coppermine
256Mb Memory
ATI 3D Rage IIC
Dell 1028LR 17"
Successfully boot Knoppix 3.4, graphics card autodetected ok,
monitor incorrectly detected.
ctrl+alt+F1 - to terminal
xf86config
follow prompts to monitor
enter user Horz 30-69 kHz, Vert 50-120 Hz
Complete rest of xf86config choosing correct ATI Rage
Save file as suggested
using mc examine xf86config (now timestamped to my edit)
examine xf86config-4 (no changes shown from original timestamp)
del /tmp/.X0-lock (from previous info after startx)
startx
Desktop up
Still appears to be using defaults from xf86Config-4
Q1.
Which file is used for ref xf86config or xf86config-4
seems to be reading -4 not the one created with xf86confg
Trying to use monitor to its best abiliities is the reason
Q2.
Where in the desktop can I Change the refresh rate to match some of the presets listed for my monitor
As you can see complete learner here but enjoying it all the same
