Not sure if this should go here, or "Hdd Install / Debian / Apt" as it's an hdd install and not running from the live CD

--------------*--------------

Been playing with different types of linux for a long time, never really got very far in though, made a file server and thats about it

The problem I'm having at the moment is the screen res being stuck at 1024x768 @ 60hz, the res switcher that knoppix loads into the kde bar things only shows 1024x768 @ 75hz (still outputs 60hz)
I've try'd using kxconfig via the terminal, it'll happily select the res i want 1152x864 @ 100hz, i know all my hardware will do this (i'm not that much of a noob )

I seem to remember having to manually edit a config file in mandrake (this was some time ago),

Just for the hell of it, i decided to try logging in a root, however knoppix says something along the lines of "you don't have enough experience" , when i installed knoppix to the hdd i used the beginner install, me thinks this has something to do with it, is it possible this is also stopping the files from being writain to?

Later tonight i will post the text kxconfig puts out to the terminal while it loads, and saves the config


Any ideas?


--------------While I'm thinking about it--------------

On another PC (running from CD) the first time i loaded it up the gui came up at 1280x1024 @ 75hz (native for my LCD) every other boot it's come up at 1024x768 @ 60hz, and like the above wont change



--------------Edit--------------

Looking at the list of forums, maybe General Support would be better ...
