Hi dracula,

just bought the same notebook and installed knoppix to the hd. I started it with the screen options you mentioned but without alsa. Havent figured out any problems with the sound yet. The xmms-sound volume works here quite good.

Can you change to shell with Ctrl-Alt-F1?? I can't. *grmpf*

And did you use any special X-driver? The buttons for "Browser etc.." ) can be configured. Found a link yesterday and will post it here.

CU, good luck and write sth if you found out anything new..

Wonko.
