I'm out of ideas, now.  I can only suggest that you go to the Mandriva website 
and sign up for the Expert mailing list (expert at mandrivalinux.org), then mail 
them telling them about the hardware and the steps you have tried to solve 
the problem.  Someone there should recognise what's happening and be able to 
help you.  Good luck.
