Not sure exactly where you are going with all of this but you should
at
least start with the default which is no xorg.conf at all - so maybe as
That was one of the first things I tried,
but I'll try it again.
root, you should just 'mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf-saved'
and then reboot and see what happens because I would guess that the
knoppix org.conf you are trying to use is from a much earlier version of
xorg.
I never copied and xorg.conf from knoppix.
That I could use knoppix demonstrated that the hardware worked.
The quoted xorg.conf.new was from Xorg -probe .
