    If those don't get it to work you could edit your XF86Config file. Post back if you need an assist on that.

    Ok, i logged into knoppix using the xmodule=vesa lang=us, and everything worked fine except when i watch an mpeg video, fullscreen mode is distorted. however i can live with that....
    My next question is i have mandrake 9.0, and want to install it on my laptop as well. The same problems i had with knoppix video i get with Mandrake 9.0? is it just that my card isn't supported i mean it's not the best in the world but its a name brand card(ati radeon mobility 7500) what must i do?

    You don't have to use the vesa driver - you could use 'ati'- you'd have to edit your XF86Config

    no guts no joy - Mandrake is quite different.

    is it just that my card isn't supported i mean it's not the best in the world but its a name brand card(ati radeon mobility 7500) what must i do?
    it is supported - see above.

    The best driver for a radeon is the ..... 'radeon' driver (unsurprisingly . ).
