I'm sorry to be bothering you guys, esecially since I've read over 15+ post with my same or similar problem. I have looked at the F.A.Q. and also have tryed Cheat Codes, which I will post what codes I have tryed.

Heres my dilemma, I have Knoppix v.5.0.1. I boot it up, it runs normal. Recognize my video (Radeon 9800se), mouse ps/2, sound, monitor, and my
Using modes - which I'm guessing is the monitor screen display size. It says " X window systems" and then the screen flickers and its all black and blank, till I restart it - I have waited 5+ mins.

My computer specs are the following: Athlon 64 2800, 1802mhz, 512kb cashe, 2g memory and about 60g of hard drive.

I put the codes in groups so that I could hopefully narrow down the problem. I had no clue what most of the cheats standed for, so I figured to try what seemed to be popular codes to commonly F.A.Q.
The codes I tryed so far, are the following:

(1)noapic noagp noapm nodma
(2)nomce nofirewire nopcmcia
(3)noscsi noswap nousb
(4)noaudio
(5)nosmp
(6)failsafe --Now failsafe did seem to cut off my usb keyboard, so that did me no good.

I even tryed Tips & Tricks and tryed the following:

boot:knoppix vga=0
boot:knoppix acpi=off pnpbios=off noapic noapm
(a) boot:knoopix vga=0 debug -b 3
(b) boot:failsafe debug -b 3

On (a) & (b) it shut off my keyboard at the first stage so I couldn't even type 'exit' like it prompts in the Tips & Tricks.

Hopefully this has cleared up quiet abit to what the problem is. I'm very new to linux and I plan on experimenting with linux to do clusters on my own learning curve.
I would be very grateful if anyone could try to help me out on this one.

For now I need to go defrag the computer (restarting the computer so abruptly has cause many errors to occurred.)
Thank you and God Bless.
