I am having problem when trying to boot the system using a television set as the display.
I intend to use knoppix in a home theatre PC, with the TV plugged into the svideo-out (tv out) of my Geforce3.
When past the boot prompt I get:
However I suspect this is just the res/mode to use for displaying the console/text?You have passed an undefined mode number. Press <RETURN> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 secs
The real problem is X either failing to load or if it does load, the screen scrolling wildly and fuzzily like when you try and display a resolution or refresh rate too high for your monitor or video card.
When I use any of:
... X loads but the screen is fuzzy and scrolling wildly as described above.Code:knoppix screen=640x480 knoppix noddc screen=640x480 knoppix screen=320x240 knoppix noddc screen=320x240 knoppix screen=720x576 (I think this is supposed to be the 'PAL' resolution) knoppix noddc screen=720x576
When I use any of:
... X fails to load, and then knoppix tries again with XFree86(vesa) and then XFree86(bmzsomething), and then gives up and I have the prompt (not the 'limited' prompt that you are sometimes given when booting fails).Code:knoppix noddc screen=anything vsync=50 hsync=15.625 (this is suppose to be the refresh rates of PAL I think) knoppix noddc screen=anything vsync=50 hsync=15 knoppix noddc screen=anything vsync=50 hsync=16 knoppix noddc screen=anything vsync=50 hsync=28 (with any of the resolutions tried above)
Knoppix/X loads fine on the same system with a monitor plugged in.
It is a 333mhz celeron system with 256MB of RAM and a Geforce3.
I've also tested the CD on at least three other computers including a laptop, with no problems at all.
I've looked through the cheat codes list but nothing really stands out at me as a potential solution
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi! You're my only hope!!
