I suppose the range of your monitor, the vertical and horizontal
refresh frequency range, you should find them on your monitor manual,
is not correctly detected. I could suggest to peek in the Knoppix
XF86Config to the "Monitor" section and copy the "HorizSync" and
"VertRefresh" (or look them in your monitor manual =) and insert them
via dpkg-reconfigure selecting expert mode, or something like that,
when ask for the monitor...
