The use of 'fromhd' to point to the LiveUSB itself
removes its most useful basic intention of allowing
the alternative designations of other storage media
to serve as locations of compressed KNOPPIX files.
Reason enough to relegate its use this way as only
a work-around for the problem at hand.

Hi everyone !
I have a similar problem with knoppix 6.4.3 and my ATI HD 2600 xt (very similar to HD 3650).
I think my system start and I hear female voice but is all black, I tried several cheat like no3d, no composite ecc. but nothing happens...
Then I tried with nomodeset and finally saw the System setup green bar and the Desktop, but..... but falls into a loop !
It reboot x-server infinitly!
I found an half solution and it works for me !
Code:
knoppix nomodeset xmodule=vesa
I tried with xmodule=radeon but it falls in the loop.
Have You an idea for how to make them work ?
sorry for my English (I will try to understand your answers ), Bye.

OK !
I found this command on the forum:
Code:
knoppix nomodeset nocomposite
and now I have the radeon Mesa driver active (Direct rendering YES).
...but non Compiz

My understanding is that ATI Radeon is an outfit that fears GPLng their drivers will put them out of business. As a consequence, there are two drivers available from Debian (on which Knoppix is based). An Open Source driver written by guess work, which I don't think does 3D acceleration so no Compiz and a repackaged Closed Source driver that quirks more often than works. You probably have the first and count yourself lucky you do.
I had a machine at work with an ATI Radeom graphics card. It was a Leprechaun. Not one of those crock of gold Leprechauns but the other kind. It was a three wish Leprechaun: I wish I had an Nvidia card, I wish I had the right to mess with the company's hardware and I wish I'd never laid eyes on this machine. I wasted hours and hours and hours over months and months and months trying to get it to work properly. SABENA.
I think you are out of luck but maybe, just maybe, some one else will take exception to what I've just written and give you the answer you seek. I suspect you got no answer because you added your question to a thread that had drifted off onto some other topic. My answer will bring your question to people's attention and maybe you'll be lucky. At least I hope so.

On knoppix 6.2.1 my video card works great without cheats and compiz ON.
It works great also on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 with radeon open source driver and goes ever better with closed driver fglrx.
I don't understand nothing about the green gnome that You have called leprechaun....
someone else knows how to enable compiz?
Thanks.

Thank you sharing the information that you laptop works fine with other versions of Knoppix and even with Ubuntu. That paints a very different picture.
I have nothing to suggest other than I have the impression that these drivers are very sensitive to kernel versions and even whether the code is compiled for a i686 or i386.
You have it working, but without Compiz. You could try 6.4.4 to see if it goes any better.

I think maybe you're right, ubuntu 10.04 and knoppix 6.2.1 has the same kernel 2.6.32, while ubuntu 10.10 has 2.6.35 and knoppix 6.4.3 has 2.6.36 and related xorg-server-drivers.
I have read in another thread that knoppix 6.4.4 is Beta version, can you confirm this ?
Do you know when the stable version will be out?
I don't want burn a CD for a beta...
Bye.
