Thanks for the suggestion. I gave this a shot, but since Knoppix 4.0
is still using XFree86 and Debian/Etch is using xserver.xorg, the
structure of the entries in the configuration files is different. I
tried pasting some of the extra stuff provided by Knoppix into the
xorg.conf file but it just crashes.
Does anyone happen to know if Mepis is using xserver.xorg? I tried
(K)ubuntu, and it sets up into the same problematic situation as Debian.
