I installed the Mandriva Free DVD x64, and when it came to configure the Graphics card, I went with the automatic settings.
But when I restarted and booted into it, it would try to start the graphical system, and then it would die and go to a text based login.
It logged in, and tried starting kde and startx.
Both did the same thing.
I also tried changing the settings to use different graphic settings, and tried even using what I though was just a default setting/driver and it still didn't work.
Sometimes I would just get a blue screen with some weird white stuff on the right side.
I've never had this problem before!
Please help!
The card is a ATi Radeon x600. SE I believe.
