When rebooting go to console not in X and mount ur cd-rom if it is not
mounted. ie: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt /cdrom
Now that Ur cd is mounted insert the mandrake cd and type,
cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS
We want to use the rpm command to install or overwrite these packages.
rpm -Uhv --force XFree86-server-common-3.3.6-18mdk.i586.rpm
Now that we have the 3.3.6 server installed, we want to configured Xserver
again with the XFdarke graphical program.. type,
XFdrake --noauto --expert
Configure your card and monitor and Reboot . Hope that solved UR problems
;)
