"Known" bug in SiS chipsets. You need to add "option
noaccel" to your XF86Config file (not sure of the EXACT
syntax) and that should fix it. I suggest checking the
newbie and expert list archives. There is a link off the
Mandrake web site (www.linux-mandrake.com) which will give
you the URL for the archives.
