Did you try to use the xdriver= option to force it to use nouveau? Some examples here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_5_Errata#Computers_with_hybrid_graphics

We'll pobably move to nouveau for the Mga6 Live isos, see http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-qa/2016/mageia-qa.2016-04-21-19.10.log.html 19:50:47 <tmb> there is another thing that debian has pointed out... we should probably stop providing prebuilt proprietary drivers as they are considered violating GPL 19:51:23 <tmb> meaning we can only provide dkms source packages... 19:59:13 <Akien> tmb: That means that for live ISOs we'd need to go either with the libre drivers, or build the dkms modules when booting the live environment? 19:59:55 <tmb> Akien, libre drivers only... compiling stuff during live boot is _way_ too painful
