A couple of small problems after installing Mandrake 6.1... The right
mouse button on the desktop used to bring up a context menu which let
me choose to reconstruct my Gnome desktop. Now it brings up an entire
menuing system which looks like it will be much more useful in the
long run.

The installer does have an upgrade option. I have heard that there may be some
incompatibilities between RedHat and Mandrake, although Mandrake is advertised
as being compatible with the RedHat applications.

If you are using Mandrake 6.0, or 6.1, you should me able to set this up using

Recommend you do the custom install again
pick ONE resolution to try, say 800x600 16 bit, OR select one and SKIP the

You can then RE-RUN "Xconfigurator" after the installation has completed so
that you can just keep trying different refresh rates, monitors, and window
