My display card seems to not want to install properly. It's a Trident display card, I got it used for reasonably cheap. I'm running a Pentium 200 MMX, 128 Megs of RAM, Trident display adapter, SoundBlaster AWE 64, RealTEK networking card, and I'm running Mandrake 8.2. It started out as my inability to get past the log-in, to which I found the answer in the archives. I tried it, and it didn't work, so I emailed Derek about it, and included what the errors that I was given. He said that it was X server not liking me, essentially. I also told him that when the install got to the configuration area, it went to a blank screen, and that was it. I figured that I could try configure it later. He reccommended that I run XFdrake to get things rolling, but all it asked about was my monitor, not my display card. All of this, as well as my prefious experience leads me to believe that Mandrake doesn't like my display card for some reason.
If anyone gets this and has an AIM account, I'm Bloodwulf42, and I'm on my parent's computer, usually after about 10 PM Mountain time. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I'm going to try running the Expert mode of the installer, and see what happens. If that fails, I may try running HardDrake, and see what happens there. But I'd far rather have some idea of what I'm getting into before I go mucking about in HardDrake. Thanks in advance Iceburgh69
