I have ASUS N73 laptop. It got two video cards, intel and Nvdia: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/3047/77983666.png http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8509/21065038.png Nvidia is Geforce GT 540M. Mageia doesnt detect that Nvidia. If i install drivers, Xserver crashes. This worked fine in another distro.
hello, thanks for the bug report. What is the output of lspcidrake -v ?

Its about NVIDIA Optimus technology. More info: http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=135018 Please ad this, its working in opensuse etc.
Detection is fixed in Cauldron (future mga2). What are the errors you see when selecting the nouveau driver?
Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO
Havent tryed nouveau, but tryed Nvidia drivers. If i install them and reboot, Xserver wont start. Only i see is command line.
It isnt helping that this is fixed in M2, its moths away.
Created attachment 1178 [details] Error This is what i get after reboot with nvidia and noveau
