I've a strange problem with graphic resolution.
I'll try to explain my view.
I'm using a sony vaio laptop (ATI Radeon) and I've the 3.3 version of 29th of september.
I'm a brand newbye of linux (I'll use knoppix to study it)
I launch knoppix from CD without any problem and it start. All hardware is perfectly configured.
The resolution appears something like 1024x768 or 800x600 (I don't know how to verify it).
I set Italian language and save knoppix configuration on a floppy.
I restart with "floppyconfig" cheat code (see note below) and I see the resolution at 640x480.
I've seen in the Control Center that the resolution is set effectively 640x480, but I see this also when the resolution is higher (at the 1st boot).
In any case I change it, before rebooting (needed because we cannot restart the X11 session), I save the configuration on the floppy but ...
We have the same problem.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Note.
I think that the message appearing after saving the configuration on the floppy is not correct; it talks about a "myconfig=/mnt/auto/floppy" that it doesn't work.
