newbie - how to I change the monitor to analogue?

[cozzy]

I'm new to this, and pretty keen.
Unfortunately I cannot get past the infamous 'black screen' after boot up
I have a GeForce2 card, and it appears from reading these forums that I have to change from a digital to an anologue plug. I tried pugging the monitor into the other socket on the back of my computer, but that gives a black screen for all operations \ os's.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Cozzy

Try booting with knoppix noddc to stop auto detection for the monitor on boot, what cheat codes have you tried.

thanks for you reply, but no luck using noddc!

I have used the following cheatcodes to no avail!
xmodule=vesa
xmodule=fbdev
xvrefresh=60
screen=800x600
noddc



my video card is a GeForce2 MX/MX400
