Yes, I also had this suggestion from someone on the ale list - unfortunately,
Mandrake 8.0 had already detected the correct video card and driver for mine.
Also, using WindowMaker or IceWm, things seemed to run fast enough, which
(maybe) rules out a hardware problem.
At any rate, I'm happy with KDE 1.x for now.
