I have just installed Mandrake 9.0 on my system, which went well, mostly. When it came to configuring the display driver, it offered me set of screen and colour resolutions - it would not accept any of the configurations I tried, even very low resolutions! Windows tells me my display card is a S3 ViRGE-DX/GX PCI (375/385). The only way I could continue the install was by cancelling that option. When Linux booted, no GUI appeared. I could log in at a console prompt, but had no idea what to do next. How do I fix this problem? It seems from reading the newsgroups that I need to edit a file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, but what tools do I use for editing? How do I get a GUI running from here? Any help much appreciated. John
