More issues with NVidia's binary drivers. If you're using those, switch 
back to the FOSS ones ("nv" driver instead of "nvidia" 
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file) and see what effect that has.

NVidia's own drivers are also very, very picky about which drivers (AGP 
and the like) are loaded in which order, and there are various options 
you can tweak in a hunt for reliability.

The FOSS nv drivers don't do 3D acceleration very well (barely at all) 
but they are dead-set stable and reliable.

This is not Mandrake-specific, nor is it KDE-specific.
