Hardware - Laptop video problem Aquaila - 20.11.2006, 02:12 Uhr Titel: Laptop video problem
Hi
Im a newbie to Kanotix, and so downloaded the 2006 live cd used it on my desktop, and eventually installed it I liked it so much.
Have been wanting to get it on my laptop, and the live cd runs I see the splash screen, and then when the disk loads all I get on my screen is a brilliant display of colours, all jumbled, and nothing else. The card installed on the laptop is a XGI Volari-XP5 v1.09.03 ECS_532.
I have tried everything to get it to work but still no luck, can anybody help??
Thanks

Not sure if you were aware that you can pass cheatcodes to the Kanotix live disc when you boot. This allows the disc to deal with specific hardware. Have a look.

Thanks for that tried all the codes and I did manage to get into a single screen, but it was still rather fuzzy and the display was big, so big I couldnt see the taskbar. Also got an error on a few which said no suitable x-server found for your card, so Im assuming that it wont be able to work.
