try typing 'apropos xf86' you'll get back a ton of
commands/statements related to XF86.... Prob'ly towards the end of the
output you'll see :
xf86config (1x) - generate an XF86Config file
this is the basic text based X tool, and IIRC, configures XF-3.x.x

Well if all else fails, how 'bout putting the install CD in and
tryin 'upgrade' or 'rescue' (depends on Mandrake version), and when it
gets to the X setup part, choose a conservative resolution for your
monitor. EG, if it's a 17", "monitor that can do 1024x768 at 70hz" or
for a 15", "...800x600 at 70hz" and a color depth of 16 (65k). Some
cards aren't supported in XF-4, but are in XF-3, so maybe you need to
investigate that. It could also be that your video card works better
with some kernels and not others, particularly if it's not well
supported by the manufacturer.
