Just to mention my specific burning process, I'm using nero. I ditch the wizard, select "ISO (BOOT)", choose the ISO, and burn. I finalize the disc, too. I've burned it in two variants (aside from those mentioned above, as I've still been trying to get it to work): One with the advanced options on the "Boot" nero menu disabled, and one with them enabled.

Yes, in Nero, ditch the wizard. Then choose "Burn Image" from the file menu. The defaults should be fine.

I too have a problem. Knoppix runs perfectly on one of my computers, but on the older one (P133, 32MB Ram, 1MB VGA-card), he gives an error in screen resolution and makes me choose between several textmodi. I want to use graphical mode, though.

The ISO is the diskimage, you shouldn't to burn it as file (as you seem to do) but rather as "image". Close the wizard and chose "burn image" from the file menu in Nero. It's all explained in the docs too, see top of page. The burned image is bootable by itself.

Sorry for the RTFM response, it is indeed kinda stupid that you can't burn an image directly from the Nero wizard.

Unless you can push some kernelhacker to implement the graphics stuff for your card in the kernel, you will be out of luck...

Sorry.
