Hi - Newbie here, so I apologize in advance for my probably stupid questions...

I'm trying to run Knoppix 4.0.2 from the Live DVD - the computer starts up fine, reads from the DVD drive, and begins to boot. But, just after starting XWindows, the monitor goes blank.

My monitor's power indicator goes from dark (off), to orange (on, but no input) to green (on, with input). When the screen goes blank, the indicator goes from green to orange.

I'm running a 3.39 GHz Dell Optiplex SX260, with 0.99 GB of RAM.

I've tried booting up in text-only mode (at the boot command line typing "knoppix 2"), and that works fine.

Any suggestions?


Thanks!

Mike from St. Louie
