At the bottom of the ModeLine's you will see a section similar to these for my monitor these are the ones being used.
Code:
vendorname "Acer Peripherals"
modelname "54e"
ModeLine "1024x768/65Hz" 65 1024 1032 1176 1344 768 771 777 806  -HSync -VSync
ModeLine "800x600/72Hz" 50 800 856 976 1040 600 637 643 666  +HSync +VSync
EndSection

BTW, my monitor might not be correctly detected either. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 900SL Plus, but Knoppix thinks its a "SAM4279"?
My monitor is also never detected correctly on when I boot from the CD.
When I go into Control Center -> Peripherals -> Display I have the choice to select different videocards, monitors and modes, but I have to restart "my session" to make the changes take effect. The only way I know of doing that, is to reboot Knoppix, and then I loose the changes I've just made... Is there some way I can restart X without rebooting Knoppix completely? (I asume "restart session" means restart X?) It would make it much easier to experiment.

But well... My primary reason to want to boot Knoppix at the moment is to check some webpages in Konqueror. I can do that now, so its no big deal actually. If theres no more bright ideas to what I can try, I can live with it as it is now, and just hope it gets better in a later release.

Thanks for trying


Stig.
You can go through the Xdisplay and configure for your monitor and video card after you are done open a console window and sudo init 3 to take you to the console itself without X running in effect the same as re-starting the Xserver but not shutting down then while at the console /etc/init.d/xsession start will start the knoppix Xsession again with the new settings that you had saved in the config process with Xdisplay. Also some other cheat codes you may want to try knoppix vga=normal with maybe your xmodule and xvrefresh cheat code and have you tried any of the fb images like fb1024x768 note: you do not need to put the knoppix in front of this.
