I have a new Asus A7N266 motherboard and can't run X in Knoppix.

System:
AMD XP2000+
Asus A7N266 MB
256MB
using integrated peripherals, GF2, network card, sound,
Logitech USB wheelmouse

I can run in level 2, text mode, however when I try to run X the splash screen comes up, the sound works and the mouse curser moves. As soon as the system is initializing peripherals the computer locks up.

Any suggestions?
