I want to replace my old CRT-Monitor with a TTF-Monitor?
What to do so KANOTIX recognizes it?
The configurationfile for X11 must be adapted
# Resolution of KDE should be set to 1280x1024 beforehand.
# Vertical Refresh Rate <vertrefresh> should be set to 50-60.
# Delete all Modelines.
This can be done with change-res.
To do so log in as root with # sux and then get kanotix-screenres with # apt-get install kanotix-screenres (if already installed, you get the error: "kanotix-screenres is already newest version").
After installation still as root call # change-res and apply the above mentioned changes.
</vertrefresh>

Configuring KANOTIX for using Pinnacle PCTV stereo card
Before we make any changes we make sure that the card is recognised and the modules are loaded on boot even when it does not work.
(There is a problem with the load sequence of the modules for this card.)
The hotplug system loads saa7134 and then tda9887 as a dependency, and this is not the correct sequence as really there the dependency is in the other direction.
We need the following steps for the correct function of the above card:
1) load kernel module tda9887 with parameter PORT2=1;
2) load kernel module saa7134;
We can achieve this by using hotplug's blacklist and module configuration program modconf.
So, here we go:
- become root with sux;
- create a file in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d and name it as you want (we take e.g. pinnacle_pctv): put into this a line with saa7134 and an empty line after, then save it;
- start modconf and find module tda9887 (look into kernel/drivers/media/video) select it and press enter;
modconf will ask you if you want to load module: answer yes here; then it will ask you the load options: write port2=1 here and accept with enter.
- edit the file /etc/modules at the end of this file you'll see a line with tda9887 module, make a new line then write saa7134 and an empty line after, save it.
- now reboot and you can watch tv. enjoy!
thks to ricky.
