Darn!!! That's the reason I decided to bail on Mandrake! I liked it other than 
my hacking it up a little too regularly (my own fault). The last straw was in 
compiling a new kernel. I downloaded the new source, did a make oldconfig, 
make modules, make modules_install, modified LILO to pull in the new kernel 
(and I forget what else). It was about 98% there, but I hosed something or 
other - still don't know what, just that MCC didn't work.

Guess it can't hurt to try it again. Hopefully I learned something last time, 
although I don't remember what it was I learned. Think I might stay away from 
3D games until I'm ready to give it a shot, and just keep the current 
drivers.
