First, and please do not take this offensively, but Linux-Mandrake is not
RedHat Linux. They are two entirely individual distributions, with no
connection to each other.
As for changing your video driver, you can run Xconfigurator to accomplish
that. Also, I think there an other configuration tool for the X-windows
system as well, but I can't remember the name at this point. Hope this is
useful,
Ernie
