Subject: [newbie] I REALLY NEED MY MONITOR TO WORK!!

Hey, how's it going.  So I am trying to install Linux Mandrake 7.1 on my AMD Athlon K-7, FIC SD11 mother board, running with 192MB of RAM.  My problem is that at the end of the installation when asking to pick my monitor, no matter what monitor I pick, the screen flickers and is all chopped up, I can't even see the sign on box enough to sign in.  I have an ATI Rage Fury 128 bit 32MB video card on a NEC MultiSync XV15+.  Even though I know that Mandrake supports the video card and the monitor is even listed in the database, it still continues to flicker and be chopped up.  Please help me resolve this problem as I am anxious to start using it.
