The problem is that the auto-detect finds the card, just not the monitor.
Specifying the correct monitor and then testing is what causes the problem.
I have tried to use generic monitor settings, etc., but they don't work
either. If I use a different card, I am afraid that this problem will
persist. I don't think that it is the card necessarily. I am wondering if
it isn't an incorrect monitor setting on Mandrake's part??????
Thanks for the suggestions and the reply.

Subject: [newbie] Problem installing Air on a machine.
I installed Air at work on a machine, no problems. My home (test) machine
is another story. Auto detect finds my video card just fine, but when it
asks for a monitor type and I specify the correct one............ no dice.
The correct monitor is listed in the list, but still won't work. The video
card is a generic Trident 3DImage 985 AGP, the monitor is a NEC Multisync
3FGx, and the machine is a k6-2 350 w/ 96 MB, 2G drive. Any suggestions or
help? I have tried almost every other video driver, just trying to get one
that works, NO GO there either. I tried installing Corel Linux 1.0, RH 6.1,
Mandrake 6.1, etc. with the same results.
Thanks,
Matt
