Post subject:  Setting / Changing Resolution Hz for TV display

Hello.

I managed to install Knoppmyth on my computer. The TV is hooked up via coaxial cable to an RF modulator, which in turn hooks up via S-Video cable to the Video Card. The screen and installation guide showed up fine on the TV, but after installation and boot, the screen is 'fuzzy' 'choppy' 'staticky' 'flickering'... i don't know how to describe... but I am getting some picture, not enough to make out what it is saying.

I at first tried pressing CTRL ALT +/- to change the X resolution, and It seems to switch from 800x600 to 640x480, but still no clear picture. I can get to the shell by pressing CTRL ALT F2 and I see fine, but I'm not sure what I need to change / edit.

Initially, when booting from the CD, when loading, it shows a 'Generic Monitor' found, and display modes as 800x600 / 640x480. My TV is a bit small (13"). Do I have to lower the resolution or change the Vert/Horiz freqs?

Intel PIII 1GHz
Leadtek TV2000XP Tuner
ATI Radeon 9200se 128MB
256MB DDR
Phillips Magnavox 13" TV

BTW, I only know a little bit of UNIX, so please bear with me.

Thanks for the help.
