		+	5.0.1 DVD does not work properly with my Matrox G550 AGP graphics card. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 170T LCD hooked up to the DVI interface as my primary monitor and a Sony CPD-G420S CRT hooked up to the VGA interface as my secondary monitor.
		+
		+	If I let the DVD boot up with the default options, the LCD goes blank and the CRT just pops up an information overlay saying that it's out of scan range. Trying to hit Ctrl + Alt + Backspace does not properly kill the X server and go to text mode so I can reboot -- the sampled female voice just repeats itself when hitting that key combo. Doing a single press of the power button didn't cause a shutdown either -- I had to hard power cycle the machine. (In retrospect perhaps trying to switch to a different virtual console would have worked to be able to cleanly reboot.)
		+
		+	I tried starting up with knoppix xmodule=svga but it tried to run X with that, vesa, and fbdev, and none came up and it gave up.
		+
		+	I rebooted and tried knoppix xserver=XF86_SVGA, and finally that got X to come up, but only on its third attempt -- running with the mga and vesa drivers failed, but fbdev worked.
		+
		+	I have used older versions of KNOPPIX (not sure if I've tried anything newer than 3.X before now) and it auto-detected and used my Matrox G550 card properly.

 .01 as live CD works well with USB pen drives. A HDD install of 5.01 does not.  I noted that you create the exact same fstab, whether it be live or installed. And that's the bug! :).  The UID for /sda1 that you put into fstab is  "knoppix" in both cases. For a live boot, this is correct. For a HDD install the UID ain't 'knoppix' unless the user has created a userid of that name.
 WORKAROUND: if one creates a userid of "knoppix" on the system, it works.
