Resolution

Can anyone tell me how to change my moniter resolution for Knoppix, and Kubuntu? if i go to the control center it only gives me the option of going up to 1024x768 but i prefer 1280x1024. so if you could tell me how to change the resolution in either commandline or the kde gui i would highly appreciate it oh and i have kde 4 for both machines

For Knoppix, try appending the "screen=1280x1024" boot option at the boot prompt. (i.e. type "knoppix screen=1280x1024" at the boot prompt).

Check your /var/tmp/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Check /var/tmp/Xorg.0.log. Look for the resolutions supported by your monitor. If 1280x1024 is indeed supported by your monitor, then there's probably an error saying why. Also check out /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what resolutions are under
