If you have an NVidia card, the framebuffer will be broken (unless you
use the proprietary driver). Please try booting with

knoppix vga=normal

in order to get a standard vga console. This should also allow you to
switch between graphics mode and text console "like in other Linux
variants". ;-)

Another option would be using the vesa driver (knoppix vga=normal
xmodule=vesa).
