Screen Resolution Problems
I have Knoppix installed to the HD. If I log in as root, I get one resolution. If I log in as "knoppix" I get another. What's even more strange, is if I run a program as root while logged in as "knoppix user", it run's as root's resolution. Here's a screenshot.

I looked at fonts. But, they didn't really seem to have anything to do with it. They could, but it's not just the fonts that look bigger. Any ideas?

Do you boot directly into X or do you have to log in and then type 'startx' ?

I boot to the GUI login manager. I think it's KDM. But, I don't know the difference between the different ones.
Thanks,

Sorry it took so long to get a reply posted. It's been hectic around here (exams, car trouble and so on).

OK well check out your XF86Config-4 file.
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Log in as root and -check it out-log in as Knoppix-check it out. You could copy and paste to an email draft or save it to a text file for example just so you can have the two side by side and not have to constantly switch back and forth. The things I would look for are:
Under the "monitor" section
-HorizSync
-VertRefresh
Under the "device" section
-which driver is it using vga, svga, (mine's a savage for example)
Under the "screens" section (and here's where I would guess the problem to be)
-default depth
-are the modes the same under each SubSection "Disply"
Obviously if it is set to a default depth of 16 then you aren't utilizing your monitor very well- change the default to 24 or 32.
Post your XF86Config if you need help.
