SCREEN PROBLEMS - Newbie to Knoppix/Linux

[Silvar]

oh come on, surely someone knows the answer to this? or can at least suggest somethin i havent tried yet?

I'm not an expert by anyone's standard , but let me take a look at the cheat-codes .....

I know you've tried some of these already , but from the list:

I use knoppix xmodule=vesa to boot two of mine , other options besides vesa are:
ati fbdev i810 mga nv radeon savage s3 radeon svga i810
basically , try and find an xmodule that will work with your onboard graphic chip-set ( an Intel , right ? )

one note near the bottom says:

In case of a failing hardware autodetection, try booting with any of
the "no-" options as shown in the table above, like in
knoppix noagp noaudio noapm noapic acpi=off nodma nopcmcia noscsi nousb
to skip some critical parts of the autodetection system.

Well , I googled for more info , but could not find anything else , sorry.
