Try one of the S3 drivers. I had a problem with MDK 7.0 auto selecting SVGA for
me, but didn't figure it out until I remembered I had a SVGA problem with
FreeBSD(which I still love, I just get tired of selecting every little thing I
want installed).

Subject: [newbie] X problem
I just did a new install(custom, server) that's set to automatically
start X, and must have misconfigured X. The system boots smoothly, but
when it shows root login and the mandrake logo the screen goes black and
the system locks up. Reboot causes the same thing to happen again.
Is it possible or how do I get the OS not to launch X, and then how do I
reconfigure it to the proper video card(S3 Trio 3D) and monitor? My
monitor is an old Compag Presario 1500 and I'm not really sure what the
right resolution and refresh rate is, so I think setting it to standard
SVGA 800 x 600 should work.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Victor
