You could try to adjust your X11 config with 'xvidtune'. Not sure if this
needs root privilege, but if it does then type 'sudo xvidtune' from a
command prompt.
Just burned KNOPPIX iso 3.3 and loaded it onto my Gateway G6-333C, it mostly works fine, 'cept for the display, its showing the whole desktop up about 3 inches up from the bottom of the screen. Where the bottom is 'sposed to start are some rainbow colored lines. It's frusterating because I can't see the top of the desktop to drag windows and such. I know this isn't a physical setting I can change from the monitor, because there's the groovy colors at the bottom. my graphics card is a 12mb 3dFx VooDoo card (original voodoo series I think) Can someone help me get this straightened out?

well I tried to xvidtune command and it says tuning is not compatible with my chip, whatever that means. Anyway, I did find a quick and dirty way to fix it by changing from text terminal back to my GUI.
