That's simple.. just edit /etc/inittab. Simply use what i wrote earlier, except you'll want to delete the 3 and insert a 5 (it was the other way around at first).
here i'll just paste it in so you don't have to search back for the post
You'll look at the top of the file for this

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by Mandrakelinux are:

# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)

Make that 3 (or whatever you have) into a
5, by pressing the following keys after you
put the cursor over that number:
<Insert>
<Delete>
<5>
<Esc>
<:>
<w>
<q>
<Enter>
Now just reboot the computer ("shutdown -r now") and it should work.
You've just become less of a

because you now know how to install a (nvidia) video card driver!

(though calling you a newbie would imply that i am
not one, but i am - i'm still learning like everyone else

)
