Are you running from the live CD or do you have Knoppix installed to hard disk ?
Did you try to install the driver as root user ?

I have a game, ATITD. I try to load it, you know, and:
1) Using it I have 0,5 (?) FPS.
2) I have this error in the shell when the game's running from it:
knoppix@ttyp0[eClient]$ ./elaunch
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
So I gotten me the drivers. RPM package. Used alien -i to install it. And got a weird error saying that:
dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
So, what do I do to get that installed?

1) Live CD, but I have my home dir on the HDOriginally Posted by windos_no_thanks
2) Of course I did
Ok, I don't think you can install new driver packages while running from CD.
Perhaps someone here knows some tricks to move the area you need to write
to from the CD to ramdisk but even if you get that working you'd have to repeat
it every time you boot.
