cannot boot knoppix 5.1.1 cd or dvd using a matrox G550 pcie

When I attempt to boot either the 5.1.1 CD or DVD the machine will reboot either during the udev pnp probing or when attempting to start the x server. Trying various cheatcodes have not helped as yet. NOUDEV gets me to the startx failure point. Expert mode gets me further and will sometimes let me see both displays flash as X attempts to start. My machine is a IBM 8422-36U with a matrox Millemium G550 Pcie, Primary display is a Hyundai N91S and Secondary is a Viewsonic A70f.
Following is the output of the lspci -v command. Any and all help is welcome.
