Hi Ben, the video card is a ASUS V7100 which used the NVIDIA GForce 2 mx chip set. Worked 100% with Mandrake 9.1 and recently installed the new 3D drivers from NVIDIA (before blowing away Mandrake). Is this the culprit?

I'll bet you 10 - 1 it's dying on trying to start the real X server which it does at the time your saying it dies.
