operating frequency out of range

[mppdrake]

:oops: I am a 'newbie' to Linux and was hoping someone could help me.
Just tried to install Knoppix on my computer, everything goes fine until a message comes up about operating frequency out of range. Apparently It needs to be between 20 - 50 Hz and my monitor can only go as low as 60 Hz according to microsoft windows xp home. I'm pretty certain I can alter this manually through regedit but I dont have a clue how to. Please remember that I am a COMPLETE NOVICE to Linux so treat me gently and dont blind me with science :oops:

look up the knoppix cheatcodes
youll likely have to boot up, press f2, and then tell it which vsync frequency to use.

knoppix vsync=60

i think the default for knoppix is to run it at higher frequencies, like 82 and up..

:D (To software) Thank you for that I'll give it a whirl. Could I be cheeky and ask if it is possible to set up more than one cheat code at a time? By default my operating system is in german so I have to type in the lang=us cheat, can I enter this AND the vsync cheat? Sorry but as you can tell I am a complete novice and need all the help I can get
