should i mention that i installed the drivers from the software installation program in mandriva, or are they the same as from the NVidia site?

I couldnt say to be honest, i didnt look at what section this was, i just clicked out of curiosity of your problem, saw the same gfx card as mine and posted >_>.

a linux zealot will come along shortly and help you out, I'm sure, they tend to stick together xP

If you installed from mandriva's own repository, you might've gotten the open-source Nvidia drivers, which are very bad.

Maybe this guide (http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=4567) will help you?

You can get the source of kernels on www.kernel.org (What's in a name...), but what do you need it for?
The guide I mentioned doesn't require a specific kernel :)
