    u said u have AGP NVIDIA...but in the config file.....for nvidia i can see this thing...
    "BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
    seems to be as if it is on PCI slot
    i have Nvidia TNT2 AGP but in my config file i cant see any PCI declaration....
    i am also Mandrake user.

    May be removing this line helps...or there is some prob in detection or open the cabnet to see where nVidia has gone in the motherboard.

    already tried that, sweet_angel, didn't work.

    the config file lists the possible resolutions for the different color settings, not the current one, when i tried deleting all the resolutions from the default colorsetting section except the one i wanted, X detected that the current resolution wasn't listed as supported under the current color setting and that display wasn't initialized.
    I have one more thing i'm going to try, I'm gonna try removing the second video card from the machine (the one that works fine) and from the xconfig file and boot up. then change the resolution on the main card as if it were the only card on the system, then put the card back in and restore the xconfig file. this is the last idea i got, I'll let you know how it goes.
