You should either download/purchase Mandrake 7.1 or install XFree 4.01
otherwise you'll probably continue to have problems with the card. Not to
mention that Mandrake 7.1 is a just a much better product then 7.0 imho.
For 2d graphics none of this probably mattters.

I think I would have tried to install it as a Banshee, but it seems to work
for you.

Do yourself a favor and get Mandrake7.1, if it isn't satisfactory then
upgrade to XFree4.1

If you have more then one screen resolution set in the XF86config file
(look in /etc), screen resolutions can be changed by holding down ctrl-alt
and depressing either the keypad - or + key to scroll thru the listed
resolutions. Of course, you could also open up DrakConf and change the
resolution there as well.
