Tried several versions of Knoppix, i.e. up to about 3.7. Found 3.1 worked best. Used Mepis 2004.06. Same problem with both, black diagonal lines across display, Knoppix far worse than Mepis. The display was recognized but the display had distortion. Tried buffer, and different resolutions. 800x600 seemed to work best for size, but all had black lines. My laptop is somewhat antique with 192 MB ram and 400Mhz intel. Toshiba Satellite 2595.
Gave a CORCC presentation with Mepis live CD and Libranet 2.8 on the hard drive last Friday. Handed out 45 CD's of Mepis at a previous presentation. Friday, one attendee said he didn't get his copy, so I gave him the CD I had in the CDrom.(Nobody asked what the black lines on Mepis were) Libranet configured the display fine. However, there is an issue with the usb. Usb flash drive seems to work with the cli, but thus haven't been able to configure gui. I say work, but have only been able to open OO.o files read only. Haven't given up yet. Want to try later version of Libranet.
