Download Fabianx's install script
Open a shell and make it executable like this
Code:
chmod +x nvidia-live.sh
Run it: The Nvidia drivers should the be automatically downloaded, you will be asked a few questions and then the drivers will be installed.
I've used this several times and it works great.
One caveat: if you are trying to run this script on a hard drive install of Knoppix, you will receive an error at first, but then the script will download the proper hard drive install version. After it does that, simply repeat the steps listed above on that new script.

Edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and check to make sure the lines Load "GLcore" and Load "dri" are commented out with a # at the start of the line, and the Driver "nv" is changed to Driver "nvidia". The relevant sections from my install:
Code:
Section "Module"
# Load "GLcore"
Load "bitmap"
Load "dbe"
Load "ddc"
# Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "record"
Load "speedo"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce4 MX440 SE"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "on"
Option "NvAgp" "1"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP, TV"
Option "NoBandWidthTest" "1"
EndSection
If these changes do not work could you post the file so we can see it.
