I have an hp pavilion f1703 flat panel lcd screen. When I boot knoppix regularly I get the 1024x800 res. When I boot with the parameters knoppix screen=1280x1024 the highest res is KDE is 1115x925 (or something similar). My moniter is made to run at 1280x1024 so anything other than that results in bluring. LCD's only work well on one res anyway...
Thanks :D ,
Alex

I copied this mode line in my XF86Config-4 for my knoppix install, then added (1280X1024) in the options (same file, at the en you will see all the possible resolution selections, in each the new resolution must be added). Works great for me now. add a note to this forum if you want more detail.Quote:

I am using a Dell UltraSharp LCD and have to use vga=normal to even get Knoppix-STD to not blank after the "loading miniroot.gz" screen, so I'd love to be able to get actual resolution on my screen when I can finally get the kernel to load :)
Thanks for any help you can give me...

I'm running the same problem.
After editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 what have you done?
I've used kxconfig to change screen resolution but what I've got was 640x480 after selecting 1280*1024
