I have just installed Mandrake 8.1 in my desktop computer Toshiba V1100. I had some troubles when configuring the X system: I couldn´t find my graphic card (ATI Rage Fury Pro) neither my monitor (Toshiba TekBright) and the M8.1 installer was always saying something like "Fixed font not found".

Finally, I gave up in trying to configure my X system. However, after I canceled the X configuration, everything seems to be working okay.

I am just worried because two monitors have been damaged by my computer in 6 months. The damage ocurred in the same place when I was trying to get into Windows (after LILO).

Cheers .

Note the "ati" driver. But your card should go also by generic vga setting.
