knoppix 3.3 hard drive install

tryed to run xf86config, all goes well throughout except when I try to display card types (so I can choose one)...wont let me look at card list, says something to the effect that listing cant be found. everthing else sets up ok.

using a TNT2 card and would like to get my video set properly and get away from frame buffer.

would apt-get solve problem?

Thanks,TheBman
