the reason why you are have this problem is becuase you probably don't have your video drivers for linux installed or the kernel source. what video card are you running? nvidia, ati.....? if you are running an nvidia card then you have to go to the website and get the drivers for linux and then you might have to download the kernel sources from the mandrake website to get the drivers to work. hops this works for you!!!!
