I am trying Knoppix on my second PC. Everything looks good at the first prompt. After hitting enter, the video output appears to be horizontally scrolling fast enough to create 5 or 6 columns of video. I have tried a few of the cheatcodes with no success. System info is below. Any ideas on what to do to fix this? If I can get it to work, I will make the hard disk install.

Thanks
Harold

Try typing in knoppix vga=normal xvrefresh=60 xmodule=ati screen=800x600 then enter enter key at the opening screen.

That did the trick. I appreciate the quick response. I am new to the Linux platform so I've got a ways to go. Thanks again.
