Problem with Intel Intergrated Graphics and Knoppix

**bejebus** · 03-03-2006, 11:53 PM

OK, just loaded up knoppix rfom live CD for the first time... the display properties art auto set to 100Hz screen refresh and 640x480 resolution.

I could not change these options through display settings.

Does this mean my graphics card isn't supported or that these are the only supported settings? is there a list of supported video cards? i have shoddy intergrated intel extreme 2 graphics... maybe thats an issue.

Is there a way to get a reasonable screen resolution without buying a new graphics card?

(i would do this anyway but my mobo has been stripped of its PCi-e and AGP slot and a PCI graphics card seems a waste)

I'm sorry if this is in an FAQ, but there is a steep learning curve here. All replies greatly appreciated.
