Re: [ilugd] Mandrake-10.1- Gui not working
Hi, Run the machine in runlevel3 and try running startx ... .then check the xserver logs looks like a driver or config problem which mandrake is not able to resolve on its own. Dump the error logs onto this list, and I am sure some one will be able to help you out.
