Wrong Resolution Detected

[krishna.murphy]

Using an old HP OmniBook XE notebook. Can't get (any Linux) to correctly use the entire screen. 800x600 is the max used, but that leaves 4cm around the entire screen black. I assume it's supposed to be 1024x768.

Doesn't make any difference if I Live Boot or Install.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Lance

Hit the F2 and F3 keys when it first boots up (big penguin on the screen) for suggestions. One way to go might be

knoppix screen=1280x1024

or whatever resolution you like.

Cheers!
