Knoppix is only displayed on the center 60% of the screen. Is it because of the video card, or do I need to change a setting? __________________ 10" Sony Vaio SRX99P 850MHz P3-M 256MB RAM 20GB HD : ArchLinux 14" Dell Inspiron 1420N 2GHz Core2Duo 2GB RAM 160GB HD : Xubuntu

You'll probably need to experiment with some of the cheat codes available through the F-keys just before the CD boots. Look especially close at the keys having to do with video settings such as screen, hsync and vsync.
