<para>This tool is present in the Mageia Control Center under the tab <emphasis
role="bold">Hardware</emphasis>. Select <emphasis><guilabel>Set up the
graphical server</guilabel></emphasis>. <footnote>
<para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing
<emphasis>XFdrake</emphasis> as normal user or <emphasis>drakx11</emphasis>
as root. Mind the capital letters.</para>
</footnote></para>
<para/>
<para>The buttons allow you to change the graphical configuration.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Grafická karta</emphasis>:</para>
<para>The graphic card currently detected is displayed and the matching server
configured. Click on this button to change to another server, for example
one with a proprietary driver.</para>
<para>The available servers are sorted under <guilabel>Vendor</guilabel> by
manufacturer in alphabetical order and then by model also in alphabetical
order. The free drivers are sorted by alphabetical order under<guilabel>
Xorg</guilabel>.</para>
<para><note>
<para>In case of problems, <emphasis>Xorg - Vesa</emphasis> will work with most
graphic cards and give you time to find and install the right driver while
in your Desktop Environment.</para>
<para>If even Vesa doesn't work, choose <emphasis><guilabel>Xorg</guilabel> -
<guilabel>fbdev</guilabel></emphasis>, which is used while installing
Mageia, but doesn't allow you to change resolution or refresh rates.</para>
</note>If you made your choice for a free driver, you may be asked if you want to
use a proprietary driver instead with more features (3D effects for
example).</para>
<para/>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Monitor:</emphasis></para>
<para>In the same way as above, the monitor currently detected is displayed and
you can click on the button to change to another one. If the desired monitor
isn't in the <guilabel>Vendor</guilabel> list, choose in the
<guilabel>Generic</guilabel> list a monitor with the same features.</para>
<para/>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Resolution:</emphasis></para>
<para>This button allows the choice of the resolution (number of pixels) and the
colour depth (number of colours). It displays this screen:</para>
<para><mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="XFdrake1.png"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>When you change the color depth, a
multi-colored bar will appear next to the second button and show a preview
of what the selected color depth looks like.</para>
<para>The first button shows the currently resolution, click to change for another
one. The list gives all the possible choices according to the graphic card
and the monitor, it is possible to click on <guilabel>Other</guilabel> to
set other resolutions, but bear in mind that you can damage your monitor or
select an uncomfortable setting.</para>
<para>The second button shows the currently colour depth, click to change this for
another one.</para>
<para><note>
<para>Depending on the chosen resolution, it may be necessary to logout and
restart the graphical environment for the settings to take effect.</para>
</note></para>
<para/>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Test:</emphasis></para>
<para>Once the configuration done, it is recommended to do a test before clicking
on OK because it is easier to modify the settings now than later if the
graphical environment doesn't work.</para>
<para><note>
<para>In case of a non working graphical environment, type Alt+Ctrl+F2 to open a
text environment, connect as root and type XFdrake (with the caps) to to use
XFdrake's text version.</para>
</note>If the test fails, just wait until the end, if it works but you don't want
to change after all, click on <guibutton>No</guibutton>, if everything is
right, click on <guibutton role="bold">OK</guibutton>.</para>
<orderedlist>
<title>Volby:</title>
<listitem>
<para><guilabel>Global options</guilabel>: If <emphasis>Disable
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace</emphasis> is checked, it will no longer be possible to
restart X server using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace keys.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><guilabel>Graphic card options</guilabel>: Allows you to enable or disable
three specific features depending on the graphic card.</para>
</listitem>

<emphasis>Automatically start the graphical interface (Xorg) upon
booting</emphasis> is checked to make the boot switch to graphical mode, it
may be unchecked for a server.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>After a click on the <guibutton>Quit</guibutton> button, the system will ask
you to confirm. There is still time to cancel everything and keep the
previous configuration, or to accept. In this case, you have to disconnect
and reconnect to activate the new configuration.</para>
