          Hope you can help.
 
 
I'm having some issues with the Excalibur Live CD. Because I have an ATI video card, am loading the propietary driver by using update-scripts-kanotix.sh and then install-fglrx-debian.sh. The desktop that I get has text so large that many windows are un-usable. Is there something I can add to these commands to end up with a usable desktop?
 
 
I have also had problems with the software locking up while trying to use the ATI Catalyst Control Centre and while trying to access the hard drive installer.

          In live mode:
 
 
sudo -i
 
update-scripts-kanotix.sh
 
install-fglrx-debian.sh
 
 
Did you use it that way? |

 Zitat:

This is an issue of Debian-Lenny not Kanotix. Lenny and other lenny-based Distri had the same problem.
 
For a first usable look on Live-Cd:
 
 
Ctrl+alt+F1
 
Code: 
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
 
startx -- -dpi 96  
 
 
so you have "normal" text font
 
 
But anyway to fix it permanent, i.e. for HD-install, you need to install the fglrx-driver. |

I have tried this and what I get is an error on my monitor that says "Out of Range" but the software boots as eventually I hear the music. This "Out of Range" error is why I booted using the commands in my first message in the first place. Monitor is a ViewSonic VX922. |
