Knoppix 5.3.1 freezes.
I have been trying to use the live dvd for Knoppix 5.3.1.
It boots ok, with Konqueror displayed with Knoppix information. I can then
select the English version and get the info in Konqueror.
If I then try and do anything else, clicking any of the buttons along the
task bar then the system freezes. The mouse moves but pressing mouse buttons
has no affect.
Until the mouse freezes I have a full graphical environment with 'wobbly windows'
and all.
I tried booting into text mode using knoppix 2 and then X -configure. As suggested,
I then tried X -cofig //xorg.conf.new
This lead to a grey 'cross hatched' screen with a black X shaped cursor and didnt get
any further. StartX fired up X and again I had the freezing problem.
I cannot do lspci -v or any diagnostics.
I have had this problem also with Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Redhat Fedora 9.
I dont have this problem with SUSE or PCLinxOS.
Has anyone any ideas ?

This very well may not be the issue, but it would be silly to do a lot of work on this and not do the folowing test:
- Boot the Knoppix disc.
At the boot prompt, type memtest and hit enter.
Let memtest86 run at least 2 full passes and see if it finds any memory problems.
-
Memory is brand new, bought less than a week ago.
Tried Memtest as suggested, no problems.
I am not all that bothered about the freezing since I have now
settled on PCLinuxOS, but it would be nice to know what causes
the freezing in these distros and not others, if only to satisfy my
own curiosity.
