View Full Version : Saving Configuration on a stubborn Knoppix

I'm a newbie but have some experience with Fedora. However that couldn't detect my cable connection so i used Knoppix and it automatically detected it. I was happy :D so i did a hard drive install of Knoppix.

Now it boots like any other distro, with the loading sequence filled with all sorts of jargon. It skips the cheatcodes part and straight to the log-in.

Now i'm wondering how i can save my configurations. For example, Knoppix always boots with the monitor at 100 Vhz and i want it to always stay at 85 Vhz. I think i used the program which saves your configuration but that was for the non-drive install because it required cheat codes in the beginning. I would assume Knoppix would save this stuff to hard disk automatically.

Any help?

You could try:
1) append cheatcodes vsync=xx hsync=yy to your /etc/lilo.conf
xx & yy = value
Run lilo after editing.

or

2) Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
EX:
Section "monitor"
HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
** change the value of HorizSync & VertRefresh

:D :D
