I have previously tried the most recent drivers. Makes absolutely no difference which is why I stuck with the Mandrake supplied drivers this time around. I wanted to make sure that there was no issue with using something that hadn't been proven to work and I am pretty sure that the stock drivers supplied by Mandrake are working for most others or there would be bug reports about them and I see no bug reports on Mandrakes sites about it. Thanks for the suggestion though. Any others? Anybody see something that I am missing in the log file?
The first thing to do is. Download the most recent X drivers from the nvidia
site. And follow the appropriate instructions for installing the driver into
the kernel.

I recently bought some new hardware intended to take me into the next few years and I am having problems getting Mandrake installed. I have a Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra Platinum MB with 1024 megs ram, Nvidia GE4 Ti4600 graphics card. I had to patch the installation kernel in order to install given the current framebuffer issues with high ram video cards and ~1024 ram machines. I did get Linux installed and running except for X. I am now having problems trying to start X with the Nvidia graphics cards and drivers that come with Mandrake boxed set. When I try to start X, I get a blank display with nothing coming up. I don't think that the machine is locked up, I can ssh into it from another machine, but X just does not do anything and the display is completely blank. I have attached my Xfree log and config file here to help with troubleshooting. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me get X working? TIA.
