I am struggling to run knoppix on a machine that is my main linux box.
Its starts fine, goes as far as entering run level 5, then I see starting X11, then the screen goes blank and after a while the monitor goes on standby.
The CD and hard drive keep working so I guess its a video card / monitor issue.
The videocard is an onboard ATI 3D rage pro and the monitor a Mag 1595
This occurs with both knoppix 3.3 and knoppix 3.4-ct :?
I have installed RH 9 and SUSE 9 Pro on this machine before without a problem
I've looked in the FAQs and tried running as VGA=VESA and the other one recommended ( this is from memory so I could have got it the wrong way around) :oops:
Can any one point me in the right direction?
thanks a mil
:P
