+It can happen that the first try isn't the best display (screen is too small,
+shifted left or right...). This is why, even if X starts up correctly, drakX
+will then ask you if the configuration suits you and will propose to change it
+by displaying a list of valid modes it could find, asking you to select one.
-If you have to manually specify your adapter, DrakX will ask if you want to
-specify options for it. You should allow DrakX to probe the hardware for the
