So, can't just replace /etc/X11/xorg.conf from gentoo with the knoppix
version :(

it to some other name, like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.knoppix, and then use
"X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.knoppix" to test it. Also watch out for
ModulePath; you may have to remove or fix it if it shows up in the
Knoppix config file. It should point to /usr/lib/xorg/modules."
from <http://hawat.thufir.googlepages.com/xorg.conf.knoppix.txt>
a few lines:
15 Section "Files"
16 RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
17 ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
so that, at least, seems ok.
I'm operating under the assumption that it's a problem with xorg.conf,
of course.
The knoppix version isn't working due to something with RGB.
thanks,
