Well when the screen starts to act funny then it is usually a refresh rate problem (xvrefresh=60) and the black screen is also a problem with the auto detection of the monitor (noddc stops the detection) you are on old hardware so knoppix is trying to use too high a refresh rate with the screen size and the monitor cannot handle it. The noacpi stops the detection of acpi, one of the power saving methods and probably not supported by your MB. The xmodule= I threw in because it was already having problems so you may as well tell it what to use for the video card module just to be sure it would get it right.
