Knoppix 6.7 graphics fail

spudgunner · 08-08-2011, 07:26 AM

Upon seeing the new release, I downloaded and burned it, but I was disappointed with the results. I keep getting the graphics testing screens (flashing between the coloured stripes, grey, white, and black screens) and the desktop never comes up. I'm using an ATI HD 4670 video card and I've never had problems with Knoppix before. Help?

Have you tried some of the cheat codes on boot ( see http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes )
Specifically try (after the boot: ) knoppix xmodule=svga failsafe If that works, you might try experimenting with some of the others. Hope that helps.
