Error: No suitable X-server found for your card

[Rudeboy]

Hi,
When I try to boot Knoppix, the system hangs with the following message:
Error: No suitable X-Server found for your card

I've tried a lot of cheat codes but none of them works. Also, the failsafe doesn't work. When i do the advanced boot, the system recognizes all my hardware (nvidia TNT2, etc), but when the boot process continues, it will still hang with the same message :shock:

Can anyone help me with that?

The specs for my computer are:
Epox mvp3g-2 (with VIA :oops: )
AMD k6-2 450
196Meg
Soundblaster live
Nvidia TNT2

Have you tried forcing the nv XServer, and are you using the latest version? Are you sure the card is fully-functional? (ie: not broken)

Hi, yes, I know for certain that my card isn't broken, and I'm using version 3.2.
I forgot to mention that before the system haltes, the following message is repeated quit often:

cloop: error-3 uncompressing black 5036 65536/65536/27799/0 114511316-114539115
end_request: I/O error, deev f0:00 (cloop), sector 644660

Does this indicates a broken CD? The ISO's md5 checksum was correct.

How do I force the nv Xserver?

It looks like a bad cd, what date version of 3.2 do you have?

as far as forcing the nv x-module, press <f2> at the first boot screen to see the "cheat codes"

knoppix xmodule=nv
would be the way to force the nv module.

BTW, I have two machines with tnt based cards, both work very well with knoppix, I dl'd a 3-23 iso that gave me a bunch of the same type of errors I threw it and the iso away, as far as 3.2 goes, it looks as though everything prior to the 3-28 date version has some problems, and for most things the 3-28 may be OK, but still people are having some problems with 3.2 that they didn't have with 3.1. So I am still waiting.
