From: John Culleton on 1 Jun 2010 23:00 I installed Knoppix, a Debian derivative, on my stepson's computer. Everything runs fine. But the screen background does not cover the entire area of his flat screen monitor which measures roughly 17 1/2 inches x 9 7/8 inches. The bottom button bar extends all the way to the left but stops at the right edge of the screen background. Do I need to fiddle with xorg.conf or is there another way to correct the dimensions of the screen image? A similar installation on an HP Pavillion laptop with a more squarish screen has no such problem. I ask here because my message to the Knoppix list has not yet appeared. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I used Knoppix because it was very easy to install and came with a lot of useful software already, such as Open Office. The install program is called 0wn which stands for zero work needed. My earlier experiences with e.g. Kubuntu were a pain, menu after menu after menu and little control over the disk partitioning. With Knoppix all I had to do was run cfdisk and then 0wn. I have posted the items you requested on my website: http://wexfordpress.com/xorg.conf and http://wexfordpress.com/Xorg.0.log and http://wexfordpress.com/Xorg.0.log.old Another person might have a different experience. But when I popped a Knoppix disk in my wife's laptop and got a wireless connect with no grief I was sold. Don't mess with success is my motto. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
