setup an old monitor

[UnderScore]

When the PC begins to boot up, do you see a screen like this? http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/sl...se=167&slide=1. If so then you can type some codes to help it boot up. I would try the following:

knoppix vga=normal

Or

knoppix vga=normal screen=640x480 xvrefresh=60

**EDIT**
Try this one but I don't think it wil work.

knoppix fb640x480

You can also get command line console access by using the code:

knoppix 2 vga=normal

I hope this helps.
