I have also been having a problem with my knoppix 3.3 using a Nvidia geforce 5200...

When i boot from the cd the xserver tries to start and retries twice more and ultimately fails with an error it says that it cant find something for my graphics card (sorry i dont have the screen in front of me cause i cant get it to work right!).

Any ideas on a fix?

Perhaps there will be an update or a knoppix that will also have the Nvidea driver as part of the autodetect and install process?

Oh yeah, I have tried starting using the fb cheat which will then tell me that it is a wrong value and i have to either hit return to choose a new one (all of which arent to great) or i can continue.....whats this all about?

Thanks
