OK, good morning.

I tried the "Knoppix screen=1920x1200" code. No complaints by the system about not finding a kernel. But when the desktop enviroment finally comes up the resolution is still 1024x768 with no other options.

I suspect the system has no idea what my graphic card or display are and is only using some default setting. In this case it's an Nvidia 9400M GeForce. I don't know about the display other than it is a 17" 1920x1200 laptop display. How can I tell the system what the hardware is?

I'm off to try an install Cinerrela now...
