I have installed Mandrake 10.1 on a virtual PC. During the setup, it did not auto detect the video card (GForce GTS I believe). I picked a driver, but didn't test and it is apparently the wrong one. System boots ok, but x will not load b/c of this bad driver. I can reinstall the whole thing and pick a new driver, but Im trying to learn something from this so.... can someone tell me what to edit to switch to a different driver for my video card or point me to a thread that already has it explained? thanks
that will bring up the mandrake graphics config tool, XFdrake. It looks similar to what you saw during the install except it uses a primitive sort of graphics, ncurses, and there is no mouse support. You navigate the menus using the arrow keys. You can change your graphics driver and test the configuration with this program.
