Illcuban,
I think you have the right answer.
My Knoppix refused to think of my Video Card as anything other than a Generic Video Card, and my monitor as anything but a Generic Monitor.
Go into the -=- sorry to say, I can't direct you specifically to the Configuration, my current system has a WinModem in it, and Knoppix hates WinModems - so do I for that matter
But, I think it's under the SYSTEM Menu, you can change your Keyboard, Mouse, Display, and Monitor settings in the program. I had to set up a persistant Knoppix Configuration and changed my Keyboard to "M$ Natural Keyboard", my mouse to a "M$ IntelliMouse", my video card to a "ATI All-In-Wonder Pro", and my monitor to a "ViewSonic 17" - which all of these things are what I actually have. After saving these changes to the Persistant Knoppix Configuration - I was able to get to my desired 1024x768 24bit screen settings.
The auto-detection of Knoppix is good, but in some cases, like mine, and maybe yours, it has a hard time deciding some of the "unique" hardware specifics, and defaults back to a "safer" generic hardware when in doubt. (this is actually a good thing though - cause if it defaulted to something you don't have, it could be damaging to your hardware.)
Case in point -=- setting a screen resolution of 2048x1024 32bit on a video card that can't handle it, or a monitor that can't, could damage either the video card or the monitor - or at least make a blank screen that you can't view on.
Hope this helps, I am sure others in this newsgroup will also have more input on this one - this newsgroup has the BEST people in it [ yes, that is a compliment all you helpful people, who probably don't get enough praise for all the help you do ]

If you can't get it working otherwise you might post the output
of "sudo lspci -v" here, someone with the same videocard might
be able to help you if they can find out what you actually have.
