Not neccessarily. It depends on what driver you are using. If it is an 
nvidia vga then I can tell you how. If you have a different device I 
haven't had the need to find out yet :)

First check with lspci what the vga device is. For example.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 (GeForce2 
Pro) (rev a3)

If you have an nvidia (I'm not sure if mandrake bundle the drivers or 
not) then providing you are using the nvidia modules.

lsmod

look for this line:

NVdriver              989952  10  (autoclean)

If not you should get the nvidia drivers from their site. Very easy to 
install.

NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.tar.gz     NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.tar.gz

Then add this line to your /etc/modules.conf file:

alias char-major-195 NVdriver
         options NVdriver NVreg_ReqAGPRate=0x2

There is a full list of options for nvidia drivers in one of the tarballs.

========================================

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
