You'll almost certainly have all the man-pages
already installed ....
try a
man XF86Config
I think Mandrake makes a copy for you, check you /etc folder and see if there is a file called XF86Config~. If there is, then this would be the backup that was made when you edited the original file. I know RedHat makes a backup, and mandrake is RedHat based, so it might as well.
First of all, can you confirm that your distribution is Mandrake 9.2 ?
And what type of monitor do you have ? (manufacturer and model)
In the directory /etc/X11, there is a file called XF86Config
This is the X server configuration file.
You may have a backup copy, it will be a variation on XF86Config (for example: XF86Config.backup ).
If you have one, make a copy of the original (XF86Config.bak) and rename the backup file to XF86Config.
If not, you can always modify the XF86Config file.
If you tell me what type of screen you have, I could most likely give you the settings.
You can try to use the xf86config command in order to re-configure X.
Login as root and, at the command line, type: xf86config
If the command does not work (or you don't have it), you can try to configure it manually.
In order to do it manually, you will need the Horizontal and Vertical Refresh Rates for your screen.
You can get these from the menu system on your monitor or from the manual.
In the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, modify the "Monitor" and "Screen" sections -- also make sure your videocard is properly configure in the "Device" section.
