GUI Problems
I just installed Mandriva Linux and when I try to run startx, it gives me a "no screens found" error, yet it found and configured all of my hardware settings including the video card. (I run a Radeon x800). Please Help....please.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Tried it
When I switch to vesa, I get a black screen, before I get the command prompt.

"veas" is a generic driver and it should work. switch back to 'radeon'. post the Monitor and Screen sections of xorg.conf file here.

When I click on the TEST option after the video card configuration, it says, "(EE) No devices detected."
