Thanks for your interest!
My Mobo does not have built-in video. However, this i740 is a certified piece of ca-ca. When I opened the box that it came in, there were paint brushes and three containers of paint. I have a GeForce MX 440 that I am going to install. Knoppix works absolutely great on my newer computer, so I am going to keep trying. Today I decided to buy a new computer so that Knoppix will be all alone and no dual booting. Barton 2500, Shuttle AN35N Ultra w/ 256 DDR PC2700 RAM. I just need Open Office to work as it should.
Thanks for your time and concern. Personae like yourself make forums worthwhile.
