I have managed to get past the problem by selecting the "vesa" driver, but
this isn't really a good solution. I've also found that a couple of other people
reported the same problem on the XFree86 list with 4.2.1, so it looks like it
isn't a Mandrake-specific issue. There was no solution there that I could
see, though.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I just set up 9.1 a couple nights ago with a few problems. Anyway, the problem you have is the same one I've had each time I use the virtual framebuffer. I don't know if booting using the non framebuffer mode will work but I'd give that a try first. If that works then set that as your default boot. The way that I've always done it is to edit /etc/lilo.conf to remove every line with "vga=" in it, then run lilo again. Of course you'll need to su to root to edit lilo.conf and run lilo. Let me know what happens. LOL
