Integrated Vid and Mandrake 9.2


I just installed Mandrake 9.2 on a spare Intel 333mhz with integrated video. I have no way to check what the specs are on the graphics. So i can not load the right x server....the computer just boots into bash. I am new with all this.
Does anyone have a solution?

You need to get the right kernel modules for your chipset loading. Find out what kind of motherboard you have, and do some googling to find the right driver.

Then try:

modprobe <the driver you found>
startx

Post any error messages, as well as the output of lsmod, and we'll go from there.
