which program did you try to configure X with? there are several such
programs - one of them might work. not sure which comes with mandrake -
you should have mandrake's own X config utility (drakex?), or
Xconfigurator (is it redhat specific?) or xf86setup, or....

also - you get lots of messages when you run X, on the console from which
you ran 'startx'. can you copy them _all_ into a file, and send them over?
specifically the last few might tell exactly what the problem is - or they
might not ;)
