Mandrake 9.0 (EE) No devices detected

DJ:
I just finished the install and that's is the message it is giving me in a pop-up box (still in installer, txt mode) I tried Redhat 8.0 as well same thing, apparently it doesn't recognize my monitor.

I searched the net and found a few articles about this error but nothing really telling me how to fix it. BTW how does one get into XConfigurator or XConfig or whatever name it is in Mandrake 9.0, some people on the net were able to get their monitors working using this method. I had RH 7.3 on this machine/monitor combo a while ago and had no problems. . . Thanks

I've had the same problem on 2 computers. I'd like to know what the fuck is going on...

voidmain:
Is it the monitor or video card that it doesn't detect?  If it's the monitor then that is no sweat, just pick a generic one with the same capabilities yours (size, frequency, etc). If it's the video card then you have bigger problems.

But of course there is no way in hell that we can help you out without knowing *exactly* what piece of hardware is giving you trouble, and exactly what make/model it is.

DJ:
The computer is a Packard Bell Multimedia 730, PII 266. I have a Compaq 151 FS monitor that I picked up at our school's surplus auction, and the vid card, which is onboard, is S3 Trio64V+.

Now that I have finished installing how do I get back into the config tool to fix these, thanks

for non red hat distros you need to type 'xf86config' at a prompt to setup your X server (note lower case). i hear that this is better to use than red hat XConfigurator anyway but i don't know.
