Changing the default resolution with a virtual machine?

Question

I'm using VMware on windows to run Knoppix but the default resolution is too small and changing the resolution each time I load it with su xrandr is annoying.

Is there a way to change the default resolution permanently?

Answer 1

You could try altering it (Knoppix) and then remaster it in order to save the current configuration permanently.

You could also try using a 'saveconfig' script. Not 100% sure but it would make sense that this would be one setting it would save.

There's also save config capabilities in later versions of Knoppix aren't there which should handle this type of thing?

Another would be install to a virtual disk and use the relevant cheat code to change the resolution.

knoppix screen=1280x1024 Use specified Screen resolution for X
