4mb riva 128 video card- no video after boot... suggestions?
howdy- i'm new to knoppix but know a bit about linux.
trying to help a friend out here, they want to be able to use OpenOffice and the console mostly. i tried the default settings; black screen- same with desktop=xfce.
am i asking too much out of a 4 meg card?
any lightweight desktops out there that could run OO?
all help appreciated.
thanks,
nomex

well, i reread the faq's and read all 76 posts in hardware with the word "video" in them and i found some clues. i guess i saw "very new (or exotic) graphics cards" in the faq and didn't think this one qualified.
possible fixes:
knoppix vga=normal
ctrl alt + or - (after boot. on-the-fly screen-resolution change)
knoppix xvrefresh=60
knoppix xvrefresh=75
knoppix xmodule=vesa
knoppix noddc
knoppix resolution=1024x768 (or 640x480 or 800x600)
knoppix xmodule=ati|radeon|fbdev|vesa|savage|s3|nv (i take it nv is the correct choice in this case?)
knoppix xmodule=fbdev
knoppix xserver=XF86_SVGA
knoppix xmodule=mga
and combinations of the above.
i'll post after i try these.
