Configuration:

Compaq 5100 64Mb
Trident PCI VGA
NEC Multisync XV15+

I am able to get Knoppix and X11 running from CD, but it takes about 5 minutes to boot and arrives at what appears to be a 640x480 resolution. Screen goes through several "iterations", including a "skull and crossbones" cursor, but does manage to work finally, using vsync=60. (I realize a 64Mb box is pushing the limit, but it runs from CD!)

I installed to HDA2 and after booting I get nothing from X - just a blank screen. Is it necessary to use a similar cheat code (vsync=60), and if so how is it done???
