Just to make sure try it with the analog cable you really got nothing to lose ( you didn't mention if you did) and change the fb to fb1280x1024 for your monitor resolution.

Stephen,
I haven't had time to get my analog cable plugged in yet. I did take the CD to school and ran it there with no problems. They use CRT monitors. I was amazed at how much stuff is included on the CD. Some I'm familiar with (OpenOffice, I'm a M$ Office user) others I have no clue!

Garyng,
I have an Nvidia GeForce 4 T120 graphics card.

Thanks guys for all your help, now I just need to find some books on what all that stuff is. lol

Seeing as you have an nVidia card, you could try forcing it to use the nv driver. Use the cheatcode

Code:

boot: knoppix xmodule=nv

See if that helps.

Viro,
Thanks for the suggestion but I still get the same results. Seems I need to get the analog cable plugged in and change the monitor to analog if I ever want to play with this. But I'm always open to more ideas.
