Thanks to all who replied both here and directly. Still not working. I've
had a "fun" 4 hours trying to beat this into submission. SO far I'm
bloodier than the computer!
I know everything *can* work fine since I am using Mandrake-Linux 7.2 in
another partition.
Anyway, here's what I've tried so far.
Ran XF86Config, mouse would not work, but used <tab> and tried fixing
things.

Got the bright idea of running Xconfigure while supplying the values from my
Mandrake XF86Config file

Reran XF86Config using the new XF86Config

Selected the appropriate card and hit [Done]

When I try "startx" directly a whole bunch of stuff flies by. Redirected
output to stdout and took a look. The bottom line seems to be this message:
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Any pointers as to where to go next?
Did I mess up the base install so bad that I should just reinstall?
If, during an install, my graphics card is "not found", is there a way I can
manually select during the install?
My original install was "simple", should I have done advanced? I have to
say I was daunted by the prospect of the package select/deselect process.
Thanks,
-rick

Try apt-cache search xserver
That should show you the servers in your cache. Then "apt-get install"
the
one that you want, and "apt-get remove" the old one.
