Look at the following link: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes Pay attention to any codes related to graphics, since it may appear that you are experiencing trouble there. Failsafe might be a good one to ry, since it covers many of the more common issues. If Failsafe works, then look at the information in the link I provided about it's coverage and the scope of what it covers. You may need to specify which xmodule to use, like ati, radeon, or vesa. If it is a wide screen display, you may have some issues getting the display to work at it's default resolution.
