    After loading live CD all i get is black screen

    I just got the newest live CD and burned it to a CD-R i tried to load it. Everything was perfect, when it said it was done and should load linux, the screen was black and stayed like this, I even burned it again but got the same thing to happen. The monitor just like turns off. It was GamesKnoppix-3.7-0.2-EN, but before i had 3.5 or just 3.7 and that worked fine. Im 100% sure nothing is wrong with the CD's because i tried it on my laptop and it worked. Can soneone help?

    It sounds like knoppix is doing the best it can at autodetecting the video hardware (perhaps getting it wrong) & then setting a resolution & refresh rate that is beyond the capabilities of the hardware. Try booting knoppix with some Cheat Codes, such as:
    knoppix screen=800x600 xvrefresh=60
    knoppix screen=640x480 xvrefresh=60

    I hope this helps.
