I'm using Cyrix 233

Display Card : Cyrix XpressGRAPHICS(TM)
Video RAM : 2560 KB

I sympathize, as I've always had problems with XConfigurator. Have a look and see whether you have XF86Setup installed, and if so try that. Note that you should answer "No" to the question "Use existing XF86Config as default".
If that doesn't work,go to a console and run xf86config (note the lower-case letters in the name). It is a lot more clunky, but you should be able to get ti working with one of these methods.
The other alternative is to switch to Mandrake 8.1.
