Hiya!
I have recently installed Knoppix 3.4 (2.6 kernel) on my old HP Pavilion 6638 desktop. It has the corresponding HP M50 monitor. After days of Googling, and trying many things, I have been unable to figure out how to make 1024 x 768 my default screen resolution.

Control Alt + or - only toggles between the lesser resolutions, even though my etc/x11/xf86Config-4 file shows 1024 x 768 as one of the available modes.

I don't have the option of using a cheatcode at startup, as I never see a boot prompt at startup... it just boots up to the Debian Sid LILO screen, giving me the choices:
Linux
Linux 2.4 kernel
Linux 2.6 kernel and
Windows 98

I have tried the lilo-config application in the KDE menu (trying to see if there was a way to insert a "screen=1024 x 768" cheatcode), and it appears to run some script, but it goes by so fast and then immediately disappears, so I don't really know what it did, but I do know what it didn't do...fix the problem!

If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd be grateful! No, I already am grateful! Knoppix is a great distro! Thanks to all who have made it so!
