Did you install the Nvidia driver from the http://www.nvidia.com website? If not you are using the nv driver supplied with Mandrake so you aren't running accelerated hardware. The Nvidia driver is proprietary, and Mandrake only ships open source software (unlike SuSe). Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
