Hi,
I have just downloaded the Knoppix 3.6 image. When I boot from the CD, I detects all my hardware but just before starting the X-server, my monitor goes off. It is not hung since i can hear the welcome message.
I am using a AMD 1150MHz - VIA Chipset, ViewSonic Monitor
Can somebody help?

Use cheatcode or combination of cheatcodes to boot.
Cheatcodes you should consider is:
acpi=off
screen=1024x768
xmodule=ati|radeon|fbdev|vesa|savage|s3|nv|i810|mg a|svga|tseng **which is yours?
vga=normal
fb1280x1024 or fb1024x768 or fb800x600

Look at the vert/horiz refresh cheatcodes, and try one or two.
Some monitors are fixed by simply adding vsync=60.

Shah, i have that same chipset VIA KM266 with integrated ProSavageDDR (8D04).
The system recognize all my hardware, include my video, because load savage module it self.
But, when i dont write cheatcodes, this is the result:
Starting X11.....
Retrying with Server XFree86(vesa)
Retrying with Server XFree86(fbdev)
Error: No suitable X-Server found for your card.
And, when i try cheatcodes: knoppix vsync=60 fb1024x768 screen=1024x768 acpi=off
my monitor (IBM G74 6547 year2k) go black, then blink a square say: OUT OF SIGNAL.
I try too with knoppix26 and the cheatcodes
Please, What I can do? :cry: :cry:

try increase vsync and add xmodule, ex:
knoppix26 xmodule=savage vsync=75 screen=1024x768
