Ok, I tried it... I have both Knoppix 3.4 and Knoppix STD 1.1. Both boot to a blank green screen and just sit there... mocking me. As far as xf86config goes, I have the same problem as at first. I had Windows XP on this before and I exported the system information, which was helpful. The database of available chipsets in xf86config seems limited. My laptop has the Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller. The database only knows about i810 and i710 chipsets. Any other ideas? If the Knoppix CD could somehow be made to work, that seems like it should be a viable option.
