Hi everyone,
Im new to knoppix, however have a bit of experience with linux, (not an expert, but know my way around) and im having some trouble
I downloaded the 3.927-5-2005.iso distribution, ran the checksums file is fine, burned carefully at a low speed, and then booted
After booting everything went fine it would say you have passed an unknown mode number just hit space, until I had problems with x 11 it would attempt to load the screen would flicker and then corrupt, or something to that likeness
I researched the forums found several possible solutions including multiple combinations of the following cheatcodes,
vga=0 xmodule=fbdev xmodule=svga xmodule=vesa screen =1280X764 screen=1024x768 screen=640x480fb=1024x768 fb=640x480 and vga=0 debug -b 3
depending on what i did it either did the same thing as before, or ran through x11, xfree86 vesa and fbdev, trying to start all three, and then gave the following error
error: no suitable x-server found for your card
now i have on board graphics( intel 82815 graphics controller) could anyone offer some suggestions? im tapped
Thanks in advance for your help!!
