edit the first grub line and add the following params :

vga=788 xmodule=fbdev

I would be happy to know how it works then wink

Hi,

I will give it a try.

EDIT:

Downloaded the iso you told me.
I chose the 1st line in the grub-menu and added the parms

vga=788 xmodule=fbdev

.

Still no success, but screen is not staying black but is falling back on the console.

Re: X not starting, screen turns black/off

I am in touch with one of the maintainers of the Knoppix livecd. So I got the kernel config file, and i gonna see changes between the two files.
So wait, and ... pray (if you know wink)
