How to fix new Mandriva 2006 installation X config

[Donn]

To explain my previous post, in the output from lsmod that you posted, I did
not see where the video driver 's3virge' is running. The 'lsmod' command is
translated to 'list modules' and will show a list of all modules currently
loaded.

The 'insmod' command translates to 'insert module' and essentially executes
it. If this actually works, then you probably want to edit  or create the
file /etc/modprobe.preload and add 's3virge' so the driver preloads on
startup.

Let me know if this works for you.
