<p>No matter which graphical environment (also known as desktop
environment) you chose for this install of <span class="application">Mageia</span>, they are all based
on a graphical user interface system called X-Windows, or simply X. So in order for KDE, Gnome,
LXDE or any other graphical environment to work well, the following X settings need to be
correct. Choose the correct settings if you can see that DrakX didn't make a choice, or if you
doubt the choice is correct.

<p><span class="emphasis"><em><span class="guibutton">Monitor</span></em></span>: You can choose <span class="guilabel">Plug'n Play</span> when applicable, or choose your monitor from the <span class="guilabel">Vendor</span> or <span class="guilabel">Generic</span> list. Choose <span class="guilabel">Custom</span> if you prefer to manually set the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your monitor.

<li class="listitem">

<li class="listitem">
<p><span class="emphasis"><em><span class="guibutton">Test</span></em></span>: The test button does not always appear during install. If the button is there, you can control your settings by pushing
it. If you see a question asking you whether your settings are correct, you can answer "yes", and the settings will be kept.
If you don't see anything, you'll return to the configuration screen and be able to reconfigure everything until the test
is good. <span class="emphasis"><em>Make sure your settings are on the safe side if the test button isn't available</em></span>
