Ok, here is what I know. Any help would be appreciated. btw, I am running a Dell Inspiron 1150.

I see the following messages - and I did figure out how to use the cheat codes:

You passed an undefined mode number
..later on..
modprobe: Fatal: could not read /lib/modules/2.6.11/kernel/drivers/input/evdev.to
..later on.
Starting X11..
Retrying with the Server XFree86 (ves)
Retrying with the Server XFree86 (fsdev)
Error: No suitable X-Server found for your card.

Tested cheat codes (none solved problem, but vga=normal resolves the undefined mode number error):
xmodule=nv
vga=normal
xvrefresh=60
acpi=off

Also have tried failsafe, same errors. I am using Knoppix Live-CD 3.9.

I don't know much about linux, but its not booting into the GUI (everything works fine on my other computer, a desktop, however I need it on my laptop).

I will also try running lspci -v and post results.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Jeff
