error: no suitable x-server found for your card

Just tried to boot KNOPPIX_V3.9-2005-05-27-EN on a system build around an Intel D945GNT motherboard with an Intel® 945G Express Chipset consisting of:

• Intel® 82945G Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) with Direct Media Interface
• Intel® 82801GB I/O Controller Hub (ICH7) or 82801GR I/O Controller Hub (ICH7R) supporting Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
• Firmware Hub (FWH)

Graphics:
• Intel 945G Express Chipset with Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950

Audio:
• Intel 945G Express Chipset
• Intel® High Definition Audio interface
• SigmaTel* codec

I get the error message:

error: no suitable x-server found for your card

And then I'm dropped at a root prompt. Same thing happens when I boot with an earlier Knoppix CD (v3.8.2 2005-05-05 EN).

It's a new PC, I just installed Fedora Core 4, with some problems, but much less severe.

Any suggestions please on how to proceed?


Cheers

You could try a cheatcode:

Code:

---

knoppix xmodule=fbdev

onboard video can cause problems sometime.
