I had the same problem when setting up Mandrake for the
first time.  It was during the setup for X-windows.  the
screen res. is just starting to high. Supposedly you can do
some key combos to reduce it. I think it was alt-ctrl and +
or -  to increase or reduce.

Running the x-windows setup a few times doesn't hurt either.
