I have used many KNOPPIX versions on the hardware in question, and it worked well through all of them including
4.0.2. Alas 5.0.1 cannot find the X Server for the card. It retries Xorg(vesa) and Xorg(fbdev) but finally gives up on X. knoppix vga=0 debug -b 3 did not change that.

lspci -v

Thanks a lot,

I don't think you can, but if you host it elsewhere (like on a FTP or website that your ISP provides you, or on a site like Imageshack), then you can post the URL here using the URL control at the top of the edit window, or just past the URL in if you are not concerned with it looking fancy.
