dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 is the command you are looking for. But AFAIK In knoppix 3.2 the configure script has a problem that is, it does not show the description text during the reconfiguring. This is so because of the "xserver-xfree86.templates" file not being in proper shape. to fix this cd to /var/lib/dpkg/info/ directory and then open the above mentioned file in this file you will find numerous sections mentioned as follows <Example> Template: xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/options Type: string _description: Please select your keyboard options. For the X server to handle your keyboard as you desire, keyboard options may be entered. Available options depend on which XKB rule set was previously selected. </Example> In these sections you have to remove the preceding underscore mark from description tag do this for every _description and for _choices line also don't change anything else. Best would be to backup the file before you begin. Once you do all this then dpkg-reconfigure would rock for you. Do this and then restart xserver by saying /etc/init.d/kdm restart. Hope this solves your problem. Shashank -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
