Nope..........

knoppix loads the first screen

press return

"You passed an undefined mode number. Press return to see video modes available"

it then lists various video modes but whichever you put in the pc then either hangs or reboots. (I have tried another graphics card btw)

Excellent idea though. I had never heard of the knoppix cd before. I shall keep it in my arsenal of fault finding tools.
