If your running Winblows you can go to your device manager and see
what driver is loading for you video card and that is a start as to
finding out which one you have. First of all their are prerequisites
to installing linux. you have to know what you have before you can
begin you install. Second by the method you are starting linux it
doesnt seem like the full install of Mandrake, because usually on dual
boot situations you get lilo boot screen. What kind of prompt you
typing linux dos or linux ? Im new to administering linux but not new
to using it as a user so I have some knowledge.
