I use knoppix 2.2; Celeron 1.7GHz, Intel's 845GL motherboard.
i tried to change screen resolution and refresh rate using the cheat codes, but no use.
i went through some of the Qs in the forum
i tried
fb800x600
screen=800x600
DIDNT work
couldn't find XDisplay or kxconfig
when i typed "kxf86config" in console, it showed the intel graphics card as unknown. Also i don't know how to use "kxf86config"
Please help me
Thanks.
knoppix 2.2 ? Or you mean 3.2 ?
i845 support is not in xfree86 until I think 4.3(or some really late 4.2.x) VESA mode should work but it is very ugly and I don't think there is frame buffer driver for 845, not even 810(which there is one but not included in KNOPPIX).
i tried vesa also
knoppix xmodule=vesa screen=800x600
it didnt work
thanks
so it drops you to the shell prompt ? I don't quite understand what works, what doesn't as it seems that you can get to the shell prompt but X cannot start ?
yes you are right.
the monitor flashes 2/3 times and then drops to shell prompt.
X doesn't start
THANKS
