With your CL card I would expect that you should be able to run with the vesa driver, are you using any boot options (cheat codes) to startup?
Have you tried something like:
knoppix vga=normal screen=800x600 xmodule=vesa
if that still doesn't work try the 3.3 xserver with the boot option: xserver=XF86_SVGA like this:
knoppix vga=normal screen=800x600 xserver=XF86_SVGA

I just booted knoppix on an old computer of mine with a Cirrus Logic video card, it didn't run correctly with the XFree86 (v4.x) xserver, but it runs OK when I start up using:
knoppix vga=normal screen=800x600 xserver=XF86_SVGA
I only have 32MB of RAM in this computer, but I do have a linux swap partition on a hd in the computer, I use the following boot parameters:
knoppix vga=normal screen=800x600 xserver=XF86_SVGA desktop=icewm
then I have a usable system, KDE is just too big to be usable unless you have at least 64MB of RAM.
