Just look at http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?sid=880 !
It works for some, does not work for others. It will never
work out of the box with cooker because of the license problems, so
every now and then, you have to recompile the latest drivers yourself
and you can't use XFdrake to configure.
If the driver does not work for you and nVidia does not want to
help you, no one can help.
