just a little FYI, i pulled down the latest 5.1 knoppix the other day to 
see if i could get it to boot with my hardware, the GUI failed, sadly i 
did not take the time to write down the errors in xorg, just that it 
gave sound, but was a complete black screen.  did not kick me back to 
the CLI, just left it hanging in a black screen.

i had to open an other termianl and rm /tmp/.Xsomethingoranother file to 
try again with the same results.

this does not bode well for getting linux up and running on my 
computer... *frown*
