Has anyone gotten SL to run from knoppix yet? When I try to run it, the last thing it tells me is to ensure I have the color depth set to 32. I load up knoppix with "screen=1024x768 depth=32" as boot options but get the same result. If anyone has gotten this to work, please explain what boot options or modification you needed to do. I need to do this because the laptop I'm using doesn't belong to be offically, and I wouldn't want...the questionalble textures and such to appear in a cache sometime.  Thanks for the replies!

Give depth=24 a try instead of depth=32. Linux reckons color depth differently.

Didn't work with depth=24. Here is what it spits out, hopefully someone's seen this before and knows what to change.

That erroe looks like you havent installed your video card glx driver... look for a package that's like ati-glx (for ati cards) or nvidia-glx (for nvidia cards of course).. Install, then look for a program called (ati/nvidia)-settings or -config

Ok, I tried to install the drivers from ATI but was unable. Really I was looking to see if anyone had sucessfully run SL from Knoppix and what steps they took to do it.
