i really think its the model of the machine rather than the monitor. i could rule this out by trying the dc5800 with a known good monitor.
i found this but i'm not sure what it means.
booting knoppix, blank screen at kernel image load - Knoppix.net Quote:
Hi there, I had the same problem with my laptop, and I fixed it by using
knoppix26 noscsi apci=off
though I've read since that using nolapic works instead of turning off power management, which is safer for the laptop. Hope that helps!
