That speaks for itself. I have an ATI Radeon 7000 video card. I tried dozens of times to boot from the CD with "knoppix screen=1280x1024 depth=24" command and only TWICE, have I managed to get into the 1280x1024 screen resolution! Else, it boots into 1024x768 only. That is very frustrating.
I tried Ubuntu which uses X.org and it has correctly set my screen resolution to 1280x1024 every time. In short, XFree sucks and sucks big time. Why does Sir Knopper decide to keep this piece of shit and not switch to X.org? "Debian compatibility" is an excuse. Anyway, what can I do if something can be done to manage to get Knoppix booting into the 1280x1024 screen resolution every time? All Knoppix versions are affected, including 3.8.2.
