Few questions

I got the knoppix cd recently and since im novice to linux world in general i've decided to give it a try, but i have encountered few probs.
First of all my grafhicscard doesnt seem to work proprely: when i started linux for the first time i got "frequency over range" message on my monitor, then i tried adjusting it buring boot with knoppix screen=800x600, it did work but the display of the picture was weird.... when i booted it with fb800x600 it worked fine. I have trident image 9750 on AGP how do i make it work on 800x600 on startup without my intervention?
Wheelmouse: the wheelmouse doesnt work either, if i set the screen at startup i cant set the mouse.... you havent mentioned in your cheatcodes.txt is there a way that a startup config script can be made ?
Btw. i have tried with expert mode too but its basically the same: i set the resoulution and the mouse but nothing seems to work!

--Unforch, your intervention will be required unless you make a boot floppy, then edit the syslinux.cfg file on it to pass your options.

--Try making the default:
' fb800x600 wheelmouse ' as well as the other default options.
