You can't edit some file? What does "same thing happens" mean? You can't put "=" between typing command and editing file.When I try to edit /etc/X11/X86Config-4 or /etc/X11/x86config same thing happens.
Hi guys,
My computer seems to be set to start with 800x600 resolution in Knoppix no matter what.
I have 3.03Ghz 1gigRam P4 with Sony-SDM-S91 monitor and NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT video card. I am using Knoppix 3.9
Computer boots up to 800x600, Control Center's Display tab only has one setting in Screen Size drop-down menu - "800x600"
I have tried using
knoppix xmodule=vesa screen=1280x1024
and such at boot prompt to no avail
During the boot up, it detects the monitor properly. It does not detect the video card (Unknown vendor: unknown device)
It lists its modes during boot up as "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" and one other that I missed I think.
When i type x86config in command prompt it just sits there silently forever until I Ctrl-C.
When I try to edit /etc/X11/X86Config-4 or /etc/X11/x86config same thing happens.
I am neither a Linux hacker nor a graphics guru All of the above I found how to do while trying to researc this online.
I have searched and searched but everyone just seems to say I should use the screen=1280x1024 cheatcode, which does not seem to work for me. If anyone could help me with this it would be greately appreciated.
Thank you.

Does 3.9 have 6600 Gt Drivers? i think there older drivers ay
i triedOriginally Posted by tdjokic
emacs filepath/filename &
emacs filepath/filename
less filepath/filename &
less filepath/filename
and so on i think i also tried vim more konqueror and xemacs
So if 3.9 has older version drivers then my card am I basicly screwed and there is nothing at all I can do?
I really like Knoppix in almost every aspect so far, and would really like to be able to work in it, but coding in 800x600 is a nightmare. I get like 5 lines per buffer in Emacs and spend more time scrolling then thinking.
I have just downloaded/burned Knoppix 4.0 and still no luck.
If I boot up with any of:
knoppix xmodule=vesa xscreen=1280x1024
knoppix xmodule=vesa xscreen=1280x960
knoppix xscreen=1280x1024
knoppix xscreen=1280x960
it just starts up with 800x600 resolution which can't be changed
It now detects the manufacturer as NVidia corp, but still no model number.
If I try booting up with xmodule=nv it gives our some FATAL messages when trying to start X and then says "No XServer found for your card."
I am out if ideas
