Mr. Mark Vojkovich: Thank you for replying. I wanted to ask if your suggested fix below was intended for someone else or for me since I'm not using a Riva128 card as far as I know. Does the problem come from that bug regardless? I just signed up for the great mailing list here and was surprized that so many people are having the same problem with Mandrake Linux 9.1's X-Server not working. I thought that Mandrake 9.1 would be ready for newbie prime time, but apparently not. I can go to the University of Arizona library and download ISO's of any linux I want, so do you or anyone else have a suggestion as to which distribution would be the most trouble free? (LinEx, the woody-based distribution from Spain, works fine, but it's missing a lot of features.)
