Dear Ian,
I've had the same problem on a compaq armada 1590 dx and finally i solved it
by choosing high frequency generic monitor 1024x768 in 800x600 mode. In
fact, during installation Mandrake 7.0 marqued this monitor and after
testing some other monitors i decided that the installation programe choosed
the best. However the link below may be usefull for your problem.
