I am currently running Mandrake 7.1 as a server, and it has worked great over the last few years. I've decided it's time to create a new server, so I've downloaded the Mandrake 8.2 iso 3 times after realizing that I should have used FTP instead of Explorer.. but that's a different story.
I was able to install 8.2 on a new hard drive, using the same system that I have my current working 7.2. Well, once everything is installed, I can't seem to get xwindows to work. During the installation I passed the point where it asked me if the resolution was correct.. it displayed the penguins just beautifully, so I hit "ok." Now, I can boot 8.2 just find, but when I try to use xwindows, it shows the "x" cursor, then goes blank, and reboots. I don't understand what is going wrong. james
