You can find lots of usefull informations at http://www.mandrakeuser.org
And there are a lot of good books too.
I have one called "linux expert ressources" that helped me a lot.
There is also the "linux bible".
No doubt other people will provide good titles too.
But once you have the basic knowledges, you will find the info you need un
the man, HOWTOs, LDP, and other infos provided with your distro.

Yes. There is. If you installed the appropriate tools, type XF86Setup at a
root prompt, and it will bring up the config program.
Once you ared done with it, type startx, and it SHOULD work.
If you have problems, please post a detail of your hardware configuration.
