That is quite possible, but is very likely due to changes in the upstream
kernel and not because of problems in the Debian kernel. I have the same
issue with my Toshiba Satellite A40 laptop.
The reason that Knoppix works is quite likely that it uses a much older
kernel (2.6.11 instead of 2.6.18).
Please see the following upstream bug reports for reference:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6315
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6395
If, despite the explanations in these references, you would like to follow
up on this issue, you will need to file a bug report in
bugzilla.kernel.org as this is not a Debian issue.
Cheers,
FJP
