Hmm - It hasn't worked for me since version 5. On multiple machines, also. With various keyboards, displays, etc.
You have a hard drive installation. You have a persistent store. When you installed Knoppix 6.4.4. you kept your old persistent store that you've been using for years. Thus you've carried forward the same xorg.conf file from release to release. It has got some retro stuff in there that it should not.

Try moving your xorg.conf to one side and copying over the original from the 6.4.4 distribution. Reboot and see if that makes a difference.
I guess it's worth a try, but I'm still using the version I started with when I found that 5.0 wasn't the latest, i.e. 6.2.0. I did move it from my laptop to this machine...
