What video card do you have.
The 'undefined mode' error is because knoppix is set to default vga=791, booting vga=normal cures it .
But it sounds like it is not setting up for your video card. Try booting xmodule=<whatever your card is>.

Let me show my ignornance here. What is 791? Should that number have some meaning to me, or to most people? And why would the default start-up mode of a general live distribution CD not be "normal"?

In laymans terms, vga=791 is the frambuffer device. You get the nice looking small text that way. vga=normal gives you the big ugly text.

Have you tried booting 'knoppix vga=normal xmodule=i810' ? I also have an i810 video card but have not had any problem.
