My only problem (at present) is that the screen resolution is 800x600 and I can get 1024x768 in redhat 9 as well as slackware 9 on the same box. Is there some debian specific tool to configur X in knoppix ? I searched for Xconfigurator but it's not to be found (? rh specific ?)
There are two ways to configure X in Debian. One is to use the standard tool callex xf86cfg - it opens up an X display and shows a panel to configure your mouse, keyboard, card and monitor.
The second is to use the dpkg command "dpkg-reconfigure <package>" which is provided by debconf. The value for <package> is usually "xserver-xfree86", but do a "dpkg -l xserver-* | grep ii" to be sure. This command basically calls up the configure scripts that are part of the package, and which are run when you install a package for the first time.
TIP: I don't know what Knoppix is based on, but you might want to consider using Debian testing, or unstable, just to keep up with the bleeding edge! Would require band-width for the initial upgrade, though!
