After Booting and loading my screen goes Nuts

[rwcitek]

I think I kinda get the jiff of what that may mean so I take it I am just out of Luck?

Not yet. I'm not that familiar with how the video portion of Knoppix works. But as far as I can tell from reading the code Knoppix is guessing what kind of card you have, trying it out, realizing it doesn't work, and then guessing again. Knoppix appears to try this three times and then stops.

Some options you have:
1) boot using expert mode:

boot: expert

2) boot into text mode and then run xf86cfg:

boot: knoppix vga=0 3

xf86cfg -textmode -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 > /dev/console 2>&1 </dev/console

That last line was lifted out of /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig

Let us know how it goes.
