Not sure if that exact video card is listed ( I think it is), but the monitor if not exactly listed, you should use the GENERIC MONITOR/GENERIC MULTISYNC, If the monitor setting are off in CUSTOM, you can damage your monitor. About ROOT login, what is your system SECURITY set at...my guess is above MEDIUM, lower it a little then try again. You can lower it through DrakConf icon on desktop.
