Doesn't work for my NVidia Gefore4 mx 440. And many have said that it is 
because the kernel has no nvidia architecture support in the kernel. And the 
RPM from mandrakeclub does basically say that it adds nvidia support to the 
kernel
Why it works for your NVidia I may never know, though if I did that could help 
me solve the problem.

I dont mean poor performance, i mean X wont start. And yeah getting a mandrake 
club member to get it for me does seem like a good idea, I just don't know 
any.

Yep did that, but what with it being such a new release, nobody else seems to 
have it yet. So im patiently waiting
