Hi there,

I am running knoppix version 4.0 on a dell optiplex gx280 at work.
If it all runs well they will let me install it properly!!!

Here is the snag, the display is awful.
The graphics uses an intel 915GL chip which is not supported by knoppix.
When i try and install the drivers from intel it complains that

Code:
The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules.
Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on
what went wrong.
I am not looking for any advanced features i just want to be able to view things on this 1280 x 1024 screen without it all being blurred.

Why wont the standard display go any higher?

Also i have done several kxconfig which has the result of dumping me back to 640x480 no matter what i choose.
I am saving on a USB stick so i dont see why it wont play.

To make a break through and get another organisation possibly using linux, all i have to do is get the networking up (done) and make it look reasonable.
Surely this cant be that hard!

Thanks in advance,

Jez
