I have ASUS N73 laptop. It got two video cards, intel and Nvdia:

Nvidia is Geforce GT 540M. Mageia doesnt detect that Nvidia. If i install drivers, Xserver crashes.

This worked fine in another distro.

Detection is fixed in Cauldron (future mga2).
What are the errors you see when selecting the nouveau driver?
