You have several options. It depends on how comfortable you are with Unix. If you have the KnoppMyth box networked to another PC you can remotely log in with ssh. You may need to start the ssh server (as root run "/etc/init.d/sshd restart") first. This will let you avoid the display problem. You can also copy the file from the KnoppMyth machine to a second machine using ftp or scp, edit it on the second machine and copy it back. Again, you may need to start the servers if they're not running. If you have a video card, you can plug in a monitor temporarily and use that to edit you cofiguration files. ... |

you need to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. you can use any unix editor you are familiar with. if you are not familiar with any you can use the command vimtutor to learn vi then use that. What you will need to change in the file once you learn how to use an editor is the horizontal and vertical refresh rates. I would tell you what to change it to, but I believe france uses PAL and I don't know what rates PAL uses maybe someone who does will chime in or you will have to search for it. |
