Same thing with my Toshiba Sattelite but it works after harddriveinstall and then afterwards changing resolution to 1024 @ 60Hz from withing Control Center. 3.2 Worked like a sharm though.

I've got the same problem you guys have been discussing here on my Inspiron 1100 laptop. I think I've tried all available bootcodes but none of them helps. Anyone come up with a sollution yet?

i have just installed knoppix to my AOPEN 1545 laptop..

at first when i changed my reso to 1024x768 i too got that iritating black border...

than i reinstalled knoppix(from the livecd) but i used fb1024x768..

than when boot into my hard disk installed knoppix the reso is 1024x768 and no more black border....

but in the control centre it still wrote 800x600..

Well, I think I've tried all combinations of bootcodes but none helps. I am unable to install Knoppix to the HD on this laptop, so I need it to work when running from CD.

I says the videomemory is at only 1mb in the BIOS (And you cannot change this). Perhaps the XFree drivers are unable to allocate more memory for the graphics? The Windows drivers seems to be allocating memory automatically depending on how much you need, resolution you're running in etc.
