    Screen Size

    Hello all, I was wondering what do I have to do in order for my whole screen size to be used instead of now where there is an inch or so around the borders not being used at all. Thanks

    It sounds like knoppix is doing the best it can at autodetecting the video hardware (perhaps getting it wrong) & then setting a resolution & refresh rate that is beyond the capabilities of the hardware. Try booting knoppix with some Cheat Codes, such as:
    knoppix screen=800x600 xvrefresh=60
    knoppix screen=640x480 xvrefresh=60

    I hope this helps.
