Boot hang on Dual Video Card With Knoppix

**Threv** · 02-12-2004, 05:41 AM

Hi, I was shown Knoppix 3.3 by an open source guy in my office and was pretty impressed. (I also am looking at the Sun Java Desktop as well). Unfortunately I can't get it (Knoppix 3.3) to boot and load on my Dual Video Card system. It has worked well on various single video card systems i have tried out. I have a GForce 2MX200 PCI and GeForce 4 TI 4200 AGP. Is there some way I can modify the boot to account for the second Card? Incidentally The Sun Java Desktop was able to boot up albeit with only 1 monitor (but it was the correct one, the 4200.) When it comes to Linux (Etc,) I am a complete novice but I do have help if things go over my head. Thanks in Advance

First I would get the Splash screen then the F2 boot options Prompt. the the screen would go black, then flicker Text. (too fast to read)
then hang on a black screen. Doest it write an error log to the drive that I retrieve?
