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! Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/ -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
