Display Problems with Gateway Notebook
Hi!
I have a Gateway Solo 1450 notebook which has a Intel 830M graphics controller. The BIOS says that it has 8Mb of video memory. I'm new to Linux and wanted to try it out without having to repartition my hard drive.
I typically use 1024 x 768 True Color setting in Windows XP, but I cannot get better than VGA 640 x 480 in Knoppix, which makes for huge icons in KDE and it's very hard to navigate from everything being so large. I get the impression that the Knoppix kernel is trying to pass or receive a VESA number which isn't recognized.
I tried Topologilinux and can't even run the X Windows system!
Any ideas? I'm using the latest download version of Knoppix. I tried all the F2 boot options that I could find...
