<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.

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.

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
