Blank Screen

[Fish]

I’ve just taken delivery of a Knoppix Live Linux disk. When I boot it from the cd drive all seems well. The relevant hardware appears to be recognised, and presumably loaded. When the loading seems to be over all that happens is the monitor goes blank, and all its function leds flash. Can you advise?

You should try using something like this when you boot knoppix xmodule=ati xvrefresh=60 alsa for the cheat codes at the boot: prompt in the lower left of the screen just start typing it in then enter when you are done.
