Greetings all, this is my first post

I've had this problem with other distributions, but I really liked how Knoppix seemed to jive very well with all my hardware... Thus, the HD Install which went relatively flawlessly.

When I run off of the LiveCD, I get my desired resolution of 800x600. However, after the install, It will only run at 640x480, which makes everything huge as you know. Ctrl+Alt+ +/- only yield a garbled screen until I cycle back to 640 480...

So I changed my XF86Config-4 file to mention nothing but 800X600, yet I still only get 640x480 and the resolution cycling problem.

Here's the relevant info:

My box specs

Intel Celeron 300 mhz
ATI Radeon 9000 pro (R250)
Logitech USB Wheelmouse (works fine)
40 Gig Knoppix Partition on /dev/hda2
40 Gig Win98 Partition on hda1
192 megs of ram
Yamaha integrated sound

and the relevant parts of my config file:

And that's where I'm left... What's next to try?
