This must be amonitor issue.
I tried newer big monitor and it now goes into x-windows properly.
I also tried to boot using another older small monitor. I saw horizontal lines.
I had to use the knoppix parameter for vertical and horizontal =60.
I am trying to run the live cd.
I have tried all four Tips&Tricks on cheat codes.
I get a Black screen after init 5. The lights blink on the monitor settings.
It detects a agp bridge. (This may or may not be part of the issue)
I have the monitor plugged into a the onboard vga slot. As no agp card resides in the slot.
I ctl+atl+del then enter a couple times after a minute. to exit
After the blank screen exits it then see X windows session terminated without errors. It then shuts down.
The monitor may be the issue. I will try to locate anotherto try. AOC the spectrum series.
AMD Duron 700Mhz
I may be missing somthing simple.
Thanks,
