    can't find display controls, synaptic broken filter is broken.

    Have done two flash installs of Knoppix 7.6.1, and run into a couple of problems.

    1. on one of my systems I run a laptop display and a wide external monitor. Windows 8.x has no problem automatically sizing both displays. But in Knoppix, the external monitor is only showing a portion of the desktop. I've looked all over, and haven't been able to find a tool to adjust the screen resolution or otherwise fit the desktop to the screen. the result is that I have to fish blindly for the start icon, and I can't see the bottom taskbar, and basically the desktop is chopped off on all sides.

    Is there I tool I haven't recognized that can help me with this?

    2. I tried to install UFRaw using synaptic, and it laboured for hours!, and finally presented me with the news that the attempt had failed, and that there were now two broken items that I had to find using the "broken filter." Unfortunately, the "broken filter" doesn't find anything, and so it seems synaptic itself is now broken.

    Is there a fix?

    I've run into other problems too, but two are probably already enough to get me branded as "troll" again.
