<para revision="1" xml:id="configureX_chooser-pa1">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 <literal>X Window System</literal>, or simply
<quote>X</quote>. So in order for KDE Plasma, GNOME, LXDE or any other
graphical environment to work well, the following <quote>X</quote> settings
need to be correct.</para>

incorrect, or if none are shown.</para>

<para>You can choose Plug 'n Play, if applicable, or choose your monitor from the

<emphasis>Custom</emphasis> if you prefer to manually set the horizontal and
vertical refresh rates of your monitor. See <xref

<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>

<warning>
<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>
