A Linux newbie (in the UK), I thought I would experiment with Knoppix 3.2 on this months PCplus covermount( with Knoppix v3.2 2003-05-03 EN.iso). I am booting from the cd I burned and managed to get round flickery screen problems and I have even got modem going so am writing this in Konqueror browser. What I can't figure out is the desktop size. By this I mean as I move cursor to the edges of screen the desktop scrolls a bit in all directions. If I look in control centre > Xdisplay the screen is 640x480 Is this the reason or do I need to configure desktop somehow? I was going to change screen to 1024x768 which is what I use in Windows 98se but it seems you have to restart the session to get changes to take effect but if I shutdown and reboot I am back to square one. Basically I just want the desktop to fit the screen at some resolution (preferably 1024x76. I have tried booting with various options including screen=1024x768 but it seems to make no difference. Also tried fb800x600 but boot stopped (can't remember error now). I have seen references to saving settings to a floppy and booting with that, is that the thing to do? Any help gratefully received. My machine is Athlon 1.2 ,512Mb, 40GbHD, Geoforce 2 mx200 64mb graphics card
