When do you get this error? When you are booting the Knoppix cd?

**xf.7er** · 07-14-2003, 10:43 PM

no. knoppix install my harddisk.

OK so you installed it- does it boot?

What exactly is happening? You turn on the machine and then.........what? You gotta give us something to work with here.

I personally have never seen this error so I have no idea what's going on. Were there errors during the installation process?

I think it has to do with the kernel configurator in KDE at least I pretty sure that's where I saw it when I was playing around and I also think there is a huge language barrier happening here.

xf.7er you may want to post to the Turkish debian user mailing list at least I think I have the right list in the URL here is the page where I found the link it is at the bottom.

The kernel configurator has never worked for me. I don't know if this is only specific to Knoppix or other distros as well as I don't use KDE on any other distro!

To change your resolution permanently you need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to include your resolutions. Here's an example:

Code:

EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultColorDepth 16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     1
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     4
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     8
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     15
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     32
                Modes "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode 0666
EndSection

You can add or remove resolutions from this file as you see fit.

Since you are using KDE you can go to Kmenu -> Settings -> Control Center -> Pheripherals -> XDisplay and set your resolution, screen depth and refresh rate there. Then you would logout and choose from the menu option on the KDE login screen Re-start Xserver to have the changes take effect or if you get a acceptable screen when you boot from the CD you could copy that file to the HD and use it.

I assume since you are trying the kernel configurator you must want to compile the kernel if so compiling the kernel the Debian way.
