Hey guys (and gals):

I just got copies of Mandrake 9.1 (thanks to Marcia), and I am trying to =
get it installed on my laptop. Here are the specifications of my =
laptop:

Intel Pentium III Mobile 1.2GHz Processor
256MB RAM
20GB Hard Drive
Intel 830 Extreme Graphics Controller
Matshita CDRW/DVD UJDA740 Drive
Intel 82801 CAM Ultra ATA Storage Controller-248A
Intel AIM 3.0 Part 01 Codec Driver VCH-A
Actiontec MD56ORD V92 MDC Modem
Digital Flat Panel (1024x768)
3Com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller (3C905C-TX Compatible)
O2Micro OZ6912 CardBus Controller
Intel AC'97 Audio Controller - SigmaTel Codec


That's the brief rundown of my system. Anyways, after I get Mandrake =
9.1 installed, I am not able to start XFree86. When I try to start X, I =
get the message that there is no supported modes for my VideoBIOS, and =
that there are no screens found. =20

When I first started the install, it appeared that Mandrake detected the =
proper video card for my system. I have been looking on Google for =
support with this issue, and I cannot seem to find anything. If there =
is anyone out there who can help me with this issue, I would greatly =
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
