1280x1024 Resolution

How can I increase the Knoppix resolution to 1280x1024? At the boot screen I am typing


knoppix screen=1280x1024

however Knoppix still switches to 1024x768.. :(

Also, when i use the command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and I select 1280x1024, still the same 1024x768 resolution is shown.

Should I know the hfreq and vfreq of the monitor to make it work? Cause i think it's a bit of a hassle especially when you are using Knoppix on different PCs with different monitor specifications.

My video card is NVidia GeForce 5700

If you can't figure out the right settings for the video card, try the framebuffer mode with fb1280x1024. This will add a vga= parameter that puts the text console as well as the (slow) framebuffer mode into that resolution.

Thanks Mr. Knopper...
