    Dell Inspiron 2500 Graphics Problems

    Hello all

    I've been gettin this problem ever since the first copy of Knoppix I ran on this laptop. (Knoppix 3.6)
    I've just burnt an iso of Knoppix 3.7, and still the same problem.

    Laptop Specs ::

    Dell Inspiron 2500
    10GB HD
    256MB RAM

    When i "boot" knoppix with the usual cheatcodes : knoppix noscsi nodma lang=uk
    I get this problem straight after I press the 'return' button on my keyboard :

    Loading linux24 ....
    Loading minirt24.gz
    Ready.
    You passed an undefined mode number.
    Press <RETURN> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 seconds.

    Even when I press Space, or press Return (and choose any of the modes)
    KDE loads up fine etc.. Then I start seeing "large bits" missing on my screen + glitches etc..

    Help plz

    I've used the cheatcode vga=normal, and the "undefined mode number" thingy goes away :

    Current boot command :: knoppix noscsi nodma vga=normal

    But I still have graphics problems when i run knoppix (glitches + bits missing)
