TBH, I'm not convinced it's a driver issue. Is there such a thing as a live cd for Mageia? If so, I'd be tempted to try it and see if the graphics card performs. I have a suspicion that it may be a corrupted configuration, and I'm not convinced that a new graphics driver will cure it. Maybe create a new user and log in to that user and see if their desktop works OK - if so, it's not the driver. That's just a hunch though - I've got nothing to support it.
That's a good point. It might also be worth trying a live cd from another distro entirely.
