Bummer- so did it actually go BOOM or did it die a quiet death? It is possible to blow your monitor by telling it to use vertical and horizontal refresh rates that are too far out of the spectrum for your particular monitor to handle but I have never heard of Knoppix doing this as it probes to see what rates it will use. Of course I can't say it's impossible and if your monitor was working fine until you booted the cd then it would point to the disk eh? Very interesting.
