1400x1050 resolution on a Dell Inspiron 8100
hi,
First i have to say i'm really impressed by knoppix, almost everything works fine on my Dell Inspiron 8100!
There is a small remaining problem though. My screen has a maximal 1400x1050 resolution, which I would like to use. My graphic card is the "famous" NVIDIA GeForce 2 Go 16Mb used by Dell laptops (i say famous because of all the problems I had with it on Linux... :wink: ) .
When I boot Knoppix, the display works fine, but it uses a 1024x768 resolution I think. So then I tried to pass the "screen=1400x1050" at boot time, which does make the resolution bigger, but not quite right, the display is still smaller than my screen.
My graphic card seems to be recognized fine though, as a "lspci -v" command gives
Code:
(...)

Anyone knows how I can make Knoppix boot with a 1400x1050 resolution? Should i download the NVidia driver as I normally had to do for other distros like Mandrake and Gentoo? Knoppix seems to be able to deal with this NVidia card without having to install the NVidia drivers though.
Thanks :-)
