Bug Description
Using the flight6 or flight5 live cd the XServer doesn't work. Same for the Knoppix 5.0 live-DVD. I only see very strange flickering. I did a photo with my digikam is you are interested in it. I hope the following info helps. In Knoppix, with failsafe-mode, I made the XServer work. I will attach the xorg.conf which worked a comment to this bugreport.
The PC is a Toshiba Satellite a100-533-Notebook.
