Just go to , find a Mandrake RPM (with a .mdk. suffix) by searching for "Xfree86" and then after downloading force an install (rpm --install --force --hash xfreewhatever.something.rpm)

<-- this looks good

Of course, this is only if you are prepared to screw up your comp. Seeing as you have a fresh install, though, it shouldn't be a huge problem if it stops working.

I am dual booting, but it's kinda pointless to go to windows just to play a game and then go back to linux, especially when I really can do everything I can do in linux in windows.
Linux is just fun to fool around in, and a good desktop OS if you don't play games ;)
