Hmm I assume that you would like to configure X ? Within mandrake the file is located: /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86cfg

thx for reply ...but
i dont know linux :(
what to do with that file ...

Just run it. SU to root and type xf86cfg

A couple of questions will be asked, just follow them ...

thx again...
running that xf86cfg actually unloaded my mouse n some other driver(s) ... i was finally able to correct it using drakxconf .... neways now i do know what xf86cfg does :D ... thanks .. ur reply prompted me to try again.. hope to learn more frm u...
