video card
greetings from Brazil...
i have a problem with the video card detection..
i have an onboard card sis530 that is not used, and a nvidia tnt2 board that a usually use.....
but in the video card detection, the knoppix detects the onboard non-used card, and it occurs an error in the x-windows start, what should i do?
thanks

I am assuming that the TNT card is PCI-based. If so, go into the BIOS; there should be an option to boot into AGP or PCI video, usually under the "Integrated Chipset" options page. It is probably set to boot into (sometimes it says "from") AGP. Set this to PCI. If the option change does not work, try to find a new BIOS for your board.
Alhough this is slightly off-topic, it is still worthy of mention: DON'T upgrade the BIOS from a physical device, that is, a floppy or hard drive. I use the MSI technique:
1. Boot from a Win98 Emergency Boot Disk (either version). You don't need CD support. This creates a RAMdisk in memory.
2. Copy the flashing utility and the BIOS image (usually with a .BIN or .ROM extension) to the RAMdisk.
3. CD to the RAMdisk and run the flash process from there.
In a sense, flashing the BIOS "pulls the rug from under" the hardware, plus the floppy is slow and error-prone. I have had the best results using the above technique.
