Hi,
I have been trying to setup knoppix on a toshiba laptop tecra 9100 for which the graphic card is a S3 SuperSavage/IXC 64 SDR.
Though all the functions I need work well ( not using wifi, added slmd module for winmodem) Up to now I was never able to use at its maximum having a centered screen bordered by large black bands or a to wide one using fb1024x768.
I recently found out using a Suse 9.0 cd Eval that the correct settings for xfree for this graphic card were

Section "Monitor"
HorizSync 31-48
...
VertRefresh 50-60
Modeline "1024x768" 62.35 1024 1056 1184 1312 768 772 776 792 -HSync -VSync
EndSection

The depth is 16

Those were given using the package xfree-server 4.3.99.902-40 ( maybe a suse specific version) as opposed to package xserver-xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 for knoppix 3.4
savage_drv.o version 1.1.27 (the last one, just like knoppix 3.4)

I know monitor settings are given according to the ddcxinfo-knoppix program. But this modeline never appears giving a buggy one for the 1024x768 - 60 Hz setup, nor are the HorizSync, VertSync correct. Since I do not really know where ddcxinfo-knoppix gets its info from I do not know what is wrong
nevertheless, I thought I would share the information with you all
cheers
