Well I managed to run that check application, but it has just opened another can of worms.

I'm having real trouble trying to install XFree86, when I go through the steps in the install the first problem that I encounter is:
"$Display is set"
it suggests that I am running it from an X session while I am running it from the terminal in mandrake.

If I contine with the installation almost every command that it displays has "Permission denied" after it.

Suffice to say that when I run the ATi check program it can't find the Xfree program.

EDIT: I managed to install it, and I also tried to install java as a plug in for Mozilla, however when I restart the system I don't get a GUI, only a prompt.

Help! What's going on?

Thanks in advance.
