GeForce FX 5200 will not work with knoppix

I have a GeForce FX 5200 ULTRA and knoppix refuses to work with it. When it loads the desktop envirement the screen flashes blank.

I also have a Geforce 4 MX 440, And once is gets to the Desktop with all Icons and Menu Bar eveything disappers and no matter what I do nothing works. I tryed pressing Alt+ - and +. But that didn't work either. Does anyone have any Idea on this or Drivers?

I got the envirement to load but when I tryed later using the knoppix xmodule=fbdev thing it says could not find a xserver

I have the same card and had a devil of a time getting X to work with knoppix 3.2. Finally got it working by passing the following at the boot prompt:

knoppix xmodule=nv

hope this helps.
