after installation, no graphic environment works

I have just installed Mandrake 10.1 in a Dell CPx laptop. The graphic card is rage mobility m1 agp 2x.

 

Console mode works fine

 

But there is no graphic environment even if I selected KDE.

 

When I type kde it says, among other things:

 

...
using config file: "/etc/x11/xorg.conf"
Data incomplete in file "/etc/x11/xorg.conf"
At least one Device section is required.

(EE) Problem parsing the config file,
...

Fatl server error:
No screens found 
...

I think I forgot to configure the graphic section at the end of the Mandrake installation.

 

Can I come back to that "last" part of the installation so I avoid going through the whole installation process -more than 2 h-?

 

Alternatively, is there an easy way -I am a complete newbie- to reconfigure it from the console mode?

 

Thank you very much!

 

Ignacio

XFdrake
