environment (also known as desktop environment) you chose for this install
of Mageia, they are all based on a graphical user interface system called

for KDE Plasma, GNOME, LXDE or any other graphical environment to work well,
the following <quote>X</quote> settings need to be correct.</para>

<para>The test button does not always appear during install. If the
option is there, and you test your settings, you should be asked to
confirm that your settings are correct. If you answer
<emphasis>Yes</emphasis>, 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 result is satisfactory. If the
test option is not available, then make sure your settings are on the
safe side.</para>

<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_chooser-pa3a">There is a risk of
damaging a monitor if you choose refresh rates that are outside the
frequency range of that monitor. This applies to older CRT displays:
modern monitors will reject an unsupported frequency and normally enter
standby mode.</para>
