[Preston] Monitor setting

[stephenjohnson]

right let me show you another way.
Boot in knoppix tye mount this will give you a list of mounted device there will be /dev/hda1 or something such like starting with hd something, if the has r at the end with out r then u can do. umount /dev/hda1 or what ever this will unmount it then type mount /dev/hda1 or what ever to a dir such as /mnt/hd so line would be
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hd this will mount the dir as read write by default if not the you need to force it to mount in write. Then do chroot /mnt/hd /bin/bash this will drop u into a console from that install thusly you can do su with superuser password then vi /etc/XFCONFIG what ever it is called and you can edit it or do Xfree86 -configure should work
