Try running :
You'll need your video card/driver info, and moniters vertical/horizontal sync rates, and the higheswt resolution it can use. This can all be found in the user's guides for the moniter.

Ugh... Well at least this really CAN be the problem coz I messed up a lot. But I also couldn't test the GUI coz "xfs" wasn't running. O well....

Monitor: E773p
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
Highest Resolution: 1280x1024

This was all I could get without a guide. I don't have any! They just gave me 2 guides: one for my PC and the other is some product info guide (doesn't say anything about monitors). Can I find the vertical/horizontal sync rates somewhere here in Windows XP just like the other info?

What is the make (manufacturer) / Model # for your moniter?
if you can use console, 60Hz H-sync works.. this is what im running for X
google for a user's manual

Model #? 60Hz H-sync? I think I'm gonna give up on Linux.... I can't find anything.... I tried the xf86config and everything was going well (I think) till I needed to say how much video memory I had and stuff.... Then it said I gave the wrong number and it stopped. I don't know all this info they didn't gave me anything with the info. The only thing I MAYBE can find on google is the video memory and whatever I need to know about it. I'm getiing sick of this..... Why does it have to be so hard to install Linux...

If you wish to give up, I certainly can't stop you. But, I will tell you that when you do get it working, the knowledge you've gained far surpasses the pain that it was to get that knowledge.
Now:
You video card's memory is always listed with it's documentation and should be printed on the card itself. You can also find this by going to Display Properties (Control Panel) -> Settings (Tab) -> Advanced (Button) -> Adapter (Tab) in Windows. The 60Hz H-sync is a 60 Hz Horizontal-sync refresh rate. You can find your specific one by going to Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Moniter in Windows, under 'Refresh Frequency'
Hope this helps some :)

Stay the course. It's fun, don't you think? :)

Yeah it's fun.:D Ok I think I'm allmost there now. Well I sure hope I'm allmost there....

Video Memory: 128MB
Refresh Rate: 60-240

So I tried to do the config again till I came somewhere and I didn't know what to do. But u probably do so.... here goes:

And then it stopped. I'm thinking I HAVE to overwrite the previous data right? Since that wrong and all...... O well hope ya can help me out.:D

When installing Mandrake I didn't select my DELL monitor (coz I didn't know the name) as THE monitor. I clicked normal 1024x768 monitor (or something like that) in General. That IS the kind of monitor I have but can that cause problems?

Thanks for helping me so far! If I ever meet u one day... I'm gonna give u money.:p

Just making another post to get it up in the forum. Maybe if u didn't see the post anymore u think I gave up. Since I can't PM you I made a post....

you have to be root to do this...

and as for the money thing... *coughafferocough*

Ummm.... How can I be a root? Instead of typing "valentino" typing "root"? O and I just registered at affero.:D

O well if u don't say anything I'll just try it. And yes it works! And again I tought this time it's REALLY gonna happen.... But NO!

See the last line? That's where u come in coz I don't know why it FAILED!!!!

I'll just wait for u to reply. If u don't, I'll go to a diffirent site and just ask it there...

Sorry bout the wait: I was at work, now I'm home.
you should be typing just 'y' or 'n'

/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config does not exist, on mandrake the config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
try that

Hey it's me again I had to go to sleep so...:)

I've tried writing the config to:

/etc/X11/XF86Config - still the same error

/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config - still the same error

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 - still the same error

And with still the same error I mean the one when I type "startx".

are your referring to this error:
???

there has to be more to that error message, some text before it... what is it?

<EDIT>
Also: They typing these and tell me what happens. Probably the same thing, but it will negate the possibility of a problem with the Desktop enviroment versus the X server:
</EDIT>

Why did ya make me write all this down? O well everything for Linux..:cool:

I'll try the stuff in the EDIT part of ur post right now.

EDIT:

Both commands are invalid. If ur gonna ask me to use "drakxconf" now.... that command is invalid too.

Pay special attention to this line
This simply means the config is off.
Now: Looking I see you have this in a previous post:
Tell me, what did you set your resolution, Horizontal sync and vertical sync ratings to? You said Dell moniter right? What size? I bought a Dell computer too - that's what I'm sendng this from and my values might work for you.

<EDIT>
Also: i just seen this
Paste the Entire "Monitor" & "Display" sections of XF86-Config-4 here please
I had this very same problem, but cannot for the life of me remember how I resolved it. It was a very simple edit, but I cannot remember what I took out.

Reso: 1280x1024 60Hz
