try the command
XFdrake
to configure your X environment...
If that doesnt work, then perhaps you chose not to install Xwindows?
see http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/Mandrak...l/xfdrake.html for more info

I think I didn't install X-windows.....Does it really matters since now I'm running KDE. In addition, can I be able to back the partition for Mandrake. Becos after a while, I have notice I have mistakenly recreated 2 partitions and a swap. 2 red partions and 1 green swap, I tried to combine the small partition together but I couldn't....Could that damage my HDD or make it unstable. Help.
