Please do _not_ post html messages to the list and use a reasonable
line length (about 75 chars per line).
And please use a real name.

The following might work:
1. Boot Knoppix without starting the X session:
Type in "knoppix 2" at boot prompt
2. Edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
mcedit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
(I guess mcedit is more newbie compatible than vi ;-))
3. Go to the Section "Device". Into the section, add a line like this:
Option "HWCursor" "off"
4. Save the file (press F2) and start the X session:
/etc/init.d/xsession start
BTW, which graphics card do you have?
Have you tried other desktops/window manager than KDE?
("knoppix desktop=xfce" for example)
bye,
Chris
