I have an older HP Pavilion laptop (N2150, I believe). Booting it into

Forgive me for being dense ... I'm completely clueless about framebuffers.
Furthermore, I'm currently using a Knoppix livecd.
Uh, which Knoppix livecd?
I have several versions and I may have the same version that you are using.
Did you try pressing F2 or F3 as suggested at the boot screen?
I see that a 'framebuffer' mode is recommended for laptops.
"A complete list of boot options can be found in the file
knoppix-cheatcodes.txt on your CD, inside the "KNOPPIX" directory."
