Computer = Dell 3000

Video Card = Intel 82865G Graphics Controller
When it boots up i get something about unidentified modes. I have tried
knoppix screen=1024x768
knoppix screen=800x600
knoppix vga=scan
knoppix vga=0x317
knoppix vga=normal
failsafe
And after that I still only get 640x480 resolution when X-Windows starts.
Try at the boot prompt:
Knoppix xmodule=i810 screen=1024x768
or
Knoppix xmodule=i810 screen=1280x1024
Works for my DELL, hope it helps.
Thanx to normanicus
Try Using the Decimal Version
knoppix vga=0x317
In your example above, you used the hexidecimal code. You have not yet tried the decimal version.
Knoppix vga=791 for example.
This is what I used to get my Kyro II card going in my Knoppix HDD install.
See chart below.
vga=
773 = 1024x768x8
775 = 1280x1024x8
791 = 1024x768x16
794 = 1280x1024x16
Hope this helps.
