Knoppix is miss detecting your monitor/video card (Must likly monitor).

What the Brand, Make, Model, etcs of both items?

Are you seeing the garbled screen just after you see the initial knoppix opening screen, after you press enter (or: knoppix cheat-codes <enter>).
If so at the startup screen try knoppix vga=normal and see what happens.
