So far everyone I have talked to on an Intel box has had no issues?
Perhaps this is unique to Mandrake 8.0 running on PowerPC hardware?
This morning at work I tested my Mandrake 8.0 intel and had no result. 

[root@linux /root]# X -version
 
XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 16 March 2001
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.4.1-20mdksmp i686 [ELF]
Module Loader present
