<p><a name="configureX_chooser-pa1"></a>No matter which graphical
environment (also known as desktop environment) you chose for this install
of Mageia, they are all based on a graphical user interface system called
<code class="literal">X Window System</code>, or simply <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">X</span>”</span>. So in order
for KDE Plasma, GNOME, LXDE or any other graphical environment to work well,
the following <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">X</span>”</span> settings need to be correct.
</p>
<p>Choose the appropriate settings manually if you think the details are
incorrect, or if none are shown.

<p>If you need to, you can select a specific card from this
expandable list. See <a class="xref" href="configureX_card_list.html" title="Choose an X Server (Configure your Graphic Card)">Choose an X Server (Configure your Graphic Card)</a>.

</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p><a name="configureX_chooser-pa3"></a><span class="bold"><strong>Monitor</strong></span></p>
<p>You can choose Plug 'n Play, if applicable, or choose your monitor
from the <span class="emphasis"><em>Vendor</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>Generic</em></span>
lists. Choose <span class="emphasis"><em>Custom</em></span> if you prefer to manually set
the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your monitor. See <a class="xref" href="configureX_monitor.html" title="Choosing your Monitor">Choosing your Monitor</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p><a name="configureX_chooser-pa4"></a><span class="bold"><strong>Resolution</strong></span></p>
<p>The resolution and color depth of your monitor can be set
here.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p><a name="configureX_chooser-pa5"></a><span class="bold"><strong>Test</strong></span></p>
<p>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
<span class="emphasis"><em>Yes</em></span>, 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.

standby mode.
