The problem is getting X11 going - my Intel 82845G video chipset is not recognized, and the i810 driver in the Deb 3.0 package doesn't know what to do. Setting video driver="vesa" works to launch XFree86, but after login (as root or as a user) the X session crashes during 'initializing peripherals'.
Knoppix, with linux 2.4 and XFree86 4.3, works fine, but it's limited by not using a permanent linux partition and persistent files.
The i810 driver from Knoppix doesn't work with Deb 3.0, of course....
My question is, would it be better to start from Deb 3.0 and replace the i810 driver, or to start from Knoppix, install it on my Linux partition and begin rebuilding that without the need to run from CD?
Any helpful hints? Am I asking the right questions?
