Become root by going:

 

su [enter]

 

enter your password, then [enter]

 

You'll notice the $ sign will now be a # sign.

 

Type:

 

XFdrake [enter]

 

This is a utility to set up your monitor, video card and resolution. You'll also be given a choice of two versions of "X."

 

Try different settings and resolutions starting with 640x480. Make sure the make and model of your monitor corresponds with what is listed and chosen in the monitor section.

 

What video are you using? is it "built in" or do you have a video card installed such as an Nvidia or ATI?

Did you get XFdrake up and running? It is a Mandrake utility for configuring video, monitors and resolutions. If so, what did you try? Tell me in detail what errors you are getting? Is it saying something about, "screens not found?"

You need to be a little more specific on what's going on, such as what happened when you typed those commands? What is currently on your screen?
