I'm afraid the Nvidia graphics board on your laptop can't be used by Knoppix.
IFAIK the binary NVIDIA driver is needed in order for it to work.
The gaming Morhix image do work on these laptops:

Having the Nvidia drivers on the Knoppix CD will be a feast; there may be some issues with Nvidia, though.

This seems to do the trick ( at least on Inspiron 2650 )

Just a note, the 2500 uses the intel 815 series video not nvidia.
