I'm using Mandrake 10.1, and I put in the wrong resolution. So I tried to use pico to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config but, I guess mandrake doesn't use pico. So what do I do?

I set gnome as my default shell, and had graphical problems with that. Then I tweaked the XF86config a bit, and then it worked. I login at a text interface. When I try to start kde with the cmd 'startkde' I get a series of errors, and then shows this …
