You must choice the correct parameters for your video card and monitor
Try XF86Setup from the command line
# XF86Setup

Asunto: [newbie] display problems
i used linux once before and loved it. i just installed mandrake 7.0 and
went through the process rather smoothly until i reached configure x. i
selected the defaults the first time then when that failed i tried several
of the other options for resolution and monitor. wheather i accept the
change or reject it, my screen becomes a kalidascope of colorful little
retangles. nice look but unreadable. i have a pentiun 233mmx, 64mb ram,
8.4gb hd, diamond stealth 220turbo video card, monitor is an nec multisync
2. the equipment is not the newest but i think it will work with some more
attention. thank you i would appreciate any help.
