Ok, I'm confused. I thought I was running Mandrake 7.1 (Helium) Kernel
2.2.15. Does this give an indication that I'm not running Linux Mandrake
7.1? I'm not trying to be stupid here but someone else told me the same
thing.

I'll have to track down my notes, but I also had to get updated drivers for
my nvidia geforce 256 card - that did the trick for me to be able to run
Q3. In Cooker, there are a few other 4.01 xfree RPMS - theres a
XFree86-libs4.0.1, a devel rpm,docs, etc..
Maybe you should try installing or upgrading to 7.1 - is that an option for
you ? if you do an expert install you have the option to install and start
4.01. I did that with the 7.2 beta and it worked out nicely.
