You have to check your monitor's documentation for supported refresh rates (horiz. and vert.).
Does it support 1600x1200 resolution?
What's the monitor's brand and model?
Then keyboard , then modem then printer and then
Well I reckon try hitting the mouse with a hammer , threaten to shoot it or wring the bloody things chord.
I reckon you might be better off in Windows. No offence but if your understanding is at the demonstrated level you are going to be forever just getting a working system
rafael ,I hope you will not be offended but you need to read the manual on the Mandriva web site or out of a book or magazine . "Linux Magazine" is out now and it has "Mandriva One" on DVD there and the magazine tells you how to install it properly. Do this first then ask your questions.
Linux is accepted as an operating system you must learn , like Windows if you remember , you had to learn that fairly quickly to use it and even your mobile phone had a steep learning curve
