HDD/Video problems
hi all,
Knewbie here. ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
anyway, after successfully burning the 3.3-en ISO on a cd, i gave knoppix live a run, and while i'm impressed, i still want to explore before installing on my HDD.
i'm having trouble with:
1) video. my knoppix screen has this 2-inch border all around it, the same behavior it shows when i use 800x600 under windows. however, at boot-up (with the penguin on the top left corner), the display is at 1024x768. i've tried using "knoppix fb1024x768 screen=1024x768 vert=60" already, but all it did was let the computer recognize the 1024x768 mode, but it still uses 800x600.
2) hard disk. i'm having trouble with the HDD. it doesn't seem to be mounted at all. when i used "knoppix dma" (with all the options above), the HDD was detected, and given "DMA acceleration", but still i couldn't mount it. the error message i get from the shell when i type "mount /dev/hda vfat" is that "only root can do that". any workaround? i want to try saving my config there, not on the floppy.
TIA.
