I found KnoppMyth totally unusable. On the first install I ended up with a

So now I'm bouncing down other by-ways. I still don't have the system
finished but at least I have a working Linux system which I can actually
use and understand. The Myth portion of KnoppMyth was there, and appeared
to be available/working/usable... but since I had no networking, no sound
and no way to get them working, it was all irrelevant.
I had the same issue. After install I was left with a unusable X
resolution, and Ctrl-Alt-BkSpc (to kill gdm) would leave me with a truly
messed up terminal (just blinking green squares).
I ended up booting off the CD again, using "knoppmyth screen=640x480" at
the boot prompt, then jumping to another virtual terminal, finding
XF86Config-4 under one of the mount points (/mnt/hda1) and removing the
offending resolution (everything except 640x480), then restarting. X
would then go into something reasonable, and I could continue the config
/ install.
I understand why the underlying Knoppix system would want to get the
best resolution possible, but wish the KnoppMyth install would just
stick to a safe 640x480 (I know, I know, patches are appreciated).
