Good evening everybody,
I just wanted to start a Linux text console on a Toshiba Satellite 4010 CDT using Knoppix (3.3, 3.4 and 3.7) a view days ago. Later I also tried DSL (DammSmallLinux) and Kanotix etc. (both uses the - so called - Knoppix Boot Technology). Every time I had the same problem. The real screen resolution of this laptop is 600 x 800 pixel, but it can manage a "virtual" screen resolution of about 768 x 1024 pixels. The rest of the virtual screen is invisible behind the right and the bottom border of the screen. If you have a mouse, you can navigate in this mode - the screen follows the mouse. But in Linux text mode I haven't a mouse and Linux only starts using the full virtual display size (in text mode, XFree uses 600x800!) . So I can't see the prompt for commands ...
I tried to start width frame buffer commands (fb800x600) and commands like screen=600x800, but nothing runs. Booting in "expert" mode is also impossible.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Sebastian
