I have been trying (unsucessfully) to install Mandrake 6.5 for about a
week now and still cannot get my display to work properly. At the end of
the install process my card is correctly identified as an S3 Trio 32/64
PCI and my monitor type Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 15FS is on the list. When
it attempts to test the system in the final stages of the install
program it 'locks up' and does not go back as the install guide says it
will. I have tried manually entering the data from my monitors manual
but this makes no difference. I have also tried setting different
resolutions (the suggested one is 1024*760 16 bit) but this makes no
difference. If I select skip to skip the monitor test the install
program finishes sucessfully and when I type startx at the command
prompt the screen goes blank and the PC locks up again. Does anybody
have any suggestions or know whats wrong?
