Have you tried the cheat code knoppix noddc at the boot: prompt? Knoppix sometimes has problems with the detection of some monitors. You may also want to put xmodule=nv on the line for your video card as well.

That has not worled either Plus My system does not want to install Linux of any version on my spare HD. Think it could be a problem with my graphics card.
