works great.
i've tried both 3.4 and 3.6 hdinstalls and both work fine.
the wireless card is not detected.. and i have not tried the modem, but the 10/100 Nic works fine.
also, to get full use of the wide screen, you have to add "1280x800" to each of the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 resolution lines ...
after a simple reboot, i have full wide-screen with full resolution!!
ohh yeah :)
I am running knoppix 3.4 c't edition on an Acer Travelmate alpha 550 and like it a lot! It works best with the following cheatcodes:
knoppix nopcmcia screen=1400x1050 xmodule=savage
* with pcmcia autodetection it will not start and since I do not use any pcmcia hardware it works fine without...
* I bought the travelmate with high resolution 15 inch display, thats why I need the screen=1400x1050 option
* using xmodule=savage gives the final display boost so divx movies don't shake while beeing played
* sound only plays on very low volume level compared to windows output... putting alsa cheatcode doesn't help... anyone knows how to fix this?
*I never tried the built-in modem using linux nor my usb-adsl modem "octal a360" which supposedly works if you know how
* my firewire disk works fine if I conect it before starting knoppix
Everything works on Compaq Presario 2100 using at boot:
knoppix acpi=off
or
knoppix26 acpi=off
Wireless and modem not tested!!
knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ cat /etc/knoppix-version
3.6 2004-08-16
Gateway SOLO 1450
Knoppix 1.7
I'm using the cheat codes: knoppix nodma vga=normal
At first I wasn't able to boot. I was getting some errors with the video. When I used vga=normal that got rid of the error, but then the screen when blank. I refreshed my screen with the FN & LCD/CRT button and I got a bunch of text saying errors with the IO and loads of other stuff. Then I tried using noapictd with the same result. Then I tried using nodma and wala! It worked. Hope this helps anyone out here with the same problem.
hey , i'm new to linux, even tho I run debian redhat 9.0 and 7.3 on my servers ( I pay a guy to help out)
I finally got knoppix installed on my latop and got the wireless working with and acx100 netopia wireless card
yay!
i have a aston didital passport 2100 and it boots off the CD just fine.
It works with Knoppix 3.7/HDD install. Please see my message on this page:

I tried knoppix 3.7 successful on an ibm x20. I used the 2.6 kernel.
everything worked out of the box including WLAN.
greetings, gerhard
The gateway M275 boots from disk but so far hasnt detected the wireless card.
Emachines M5410 works fine in most cases... so far, i haven't got the widescreen support fully working.. sound doesn't work, it would be my next target :D wireless isn't working either.. other than that, everything else works fine :D
