things started to look

What video card are you using? I had a similar problem with Mandrake 7.0
using an SiS video card. Changed the card and reconfigured X and all was
well. There was an updated driver that was supposed to ship with 7.1 to
solve that problem, so it may have been mis-identification of the card.
