Well, there are two ways of dealing with this - one is to learn how
Linux works and fix it by hand, and the other is to use the
make-it-simple tools that come with Mandrake.

1.  There is a file called /etc/inittab that tells the system what
mode you want it to start in, among other things.  issue   man inittab
  on the system for details, and if you decide to edit it, be certain
you won't mess it up or the system can become unbootable.

Then you need to set up your X86Config file to suit the new graphics
card.  see man X86Config for details

2.  Run DrakBoot and tick the box for graphical startup.  Probably the
easiest thing to do is run drakconf and navigate to DrakBoot.  And
then to XFdrake to set up the graphics resolution etc.

you can say XFdrake and drakboot from the command line, as far as I
recall.
