I'm new to Linux

I am attempting to use Knoppix from a CD on a p3 500mhz computer with
an ATI mech64 card. When I get to the "penguin" screen, I see 6
screens ontop of each other. I assume this is a faulty hardware
detection. Is there a command to select a "default" display?

How can i fix this.

I have tried a google search and knoppix site to no avail.

Thanks
