often times in these situations I run X --configure (I *think* that is the right syntax...could just be --config) and try starting X using the XF86Config file it creates in your home directory. if that does not work, you might to look at some other setup utilities (XF86Setup, xf86config, et cetera) or maybe look at the man page or Howto for the XF86Config file (this file is located in /etc/X11 on my Slackware system, not sure about Mandrake) LB > Hi all, > > I'm relatively new to linux -- i've been fooling around with mandrake > 8.2 on an old pentium 166 machine for few months now.
