It means you have your settings set to use 24 bit color (In different terms
24 bit color depth)
The driver you are using is most likely one that has 3d acceleration buillt
in and I think most of them stick to 16 bit.

Sure, it's an option right in the install of Mandrake 7.2
When it asks if you want to automatically start X answer yes.
Then when it asks you if you want it to automatically log in a user say yes
and enter the user and password.
Good luck!

For a quick and dirty way to deal with dependancies that are in the current
RPM file you can install two times, the second over the top of the first but
the first one with the command
rpm -i --force {rpm.file.name.rpm here}
--force should do the install even if it is missing dependancies.

I went to the Modular Tech. website and there's a statement that a MMX CPU

One thing you might try is to use netscape if you're using Konqueror.
I noticed that when I go to rpmfind.net in Konq. it asks for a user name and
password but it doesn't if I use netscape.

I too am having problems with the Mandrake Update prog.
I tried upgrading it manually today with an RPM and it still acts the same

Anyone got an idea what's wrong?

Here's the link. Apparently it installs all updates and dependencies and
