Problem with Intel Intergrated Graphics and Knoppix

OK, just loaded up knoppix rfom live CD for the first time... the display properties art auto set to 100Hz screen refresh and 640x480 resolution.

I could not change these options through display settings.

Does this mean my graphics card isn't supported or that these are the only supported settings? is there a list of supported video cards? i have shoddy intergrated intel extreme 2 graphics... maybe thats an issue.

Is there a way to get a reasonable screen resolution without buying a new graphics card?

(i would do this anyway but my mobo has been stripped of its PCi-e and AGP slot and a PCI graphics card seems a waste)

I'm sorry if this is in an FAQ, but there is a steep learning curve here. All replies greatly appreciated.

Quick answer: see #7

(So quick I didn't even read your post!)

i notice that i get an error message on startup saying something about video mode... press enter to select one or space to ignore...when i press enter there is a list of references and colours? like:
