maximize desktop window
im very new to linux, and i have been running knoppix. I recently decided to go ahead and install knoppix on the hard drive of my laptop and everything went great. It boots up properly, except one problem, the screen size is small. during the boot, it seems the screen goes much farther down then the monitor then the o/s boots and in maybe a 15in monitor, i get about a 10 in screen. I have a pretty old toshiba laptop satellite 2540cds, so maybe im thinking the monitor cant handle the view larger without muffling the resolution, so it minimizes the screen for maximum resolution. Maybe a driver problem? My guess anyways.
im wondering how i can make the screen larger. the whole o/s is shown in the small screen by the way, just not the boot. i want to maximize the output to the size of my montior, and my skills are as good as moving around the shell prompt and running commands. please help my eyes

8. UNIX Desktop Questions & Answers
Hello,
Is there a way to force each window to popup in the original desktop when using multiple desktops?
The problem is I work on one desktop, then move to another one, and some windows that are loaded in the original desktop pops at the new desktop.
Any idea?
Thanks!
