The name of the file is XF86Config. I'm not entirely sure
about Knoppix, as I don't have it booted up at the moment,
but it often lives in /etc/X11/XF86Config. The man page may
give other locations if it's not there.
Actually, you might try ALT, CTRL, and either keypad plus or
keypad minus. That will cycle through any resolutions
already listed in XF86Config.
Oh, you might also look for XF86Config-4, in case Knoppix is
still using that variant.
Two places to get quicker answers to future questions are
groups.google.com and google.com/linux. In the former, do
an advanced search of groups "*linux*" (don't enter the
quote marks). Most of the early questions have already been
asked and answered (sometimes many times), and the archived
information is just waiting to be used.
Good luck.
