Like the next linux lover, I am trying to get Mandrake to work on my laptop. Red Hat 9.0 worked without a hitch and am now wondering I decided to try Mandrake. oh well. X refuses to start and always gives me an error and strangely enought X works when I boot in linux-secure. Attempting to boot into the normal mode of linux, it DM always fails and when I run startx it returns an error that no screen is found, Despite trting to edit XF86Config it fails to work. I tried adding the line Option "CrtScreen" within Screen and it still fails. I'm using a Compaq Presarion 1200 laptop with a Trident videocard.
Can someone for @!% sake help me figure out what is wrong with Mandrake?

Which version? 9.2?
I used Mandrake from 7.2 until 9.1 and I can say that there where good versions and not so good versions, buggy versions and very buggy versions.
9.0 wasby far the best 9.1 was buggy as hell.
I got tired of mandrake and jumped in at the deep end...
Give gentoo a try!
Once you install it you wont look back...

OP
It is Mandrake 9.2. Isn't Gentoo harder to install?
