    refresh rate

    knoppix recognizes my pci NVIDIA TNT as NV4 and I think it is NV10

    my question is: how can I change the screen resolution and especially the refresh rate permanently?
    i don't find any way to setup a higher refresh rate then the default one.

    isn't there a magic gui interface just like in BeOS that let's you set any sort of refresh rate.

    thank you

    Try the Control Center in Peripherals the Xdisplay option. After doing this you will have to logout and choose re-start the X server from the Menu pull down then login back in.

    You should update to a newer version if you can. If you are running from the HD then open a console window (clam shell icon on toolbar) and su enter root password and then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to reconfigure the X server and choose your settings there. From the CD if I recall correctly (it's been a while since I last tried this) open console window and sudo init 3 which should bring you to a terminal window the reconfigure the X server with the command above and then init 5 to restart the X server and bring you back to the login screen. note the init 3 may have been CTRL + ALT + BKSP to kill off X server.
