Perhaps ... The X is compiled specifically to the Mandriva environment

You could try to run Mandriva as a live-cd to check out if it works better. 
You might use an usb-stick to avoid slow speed and noise. Unetbootin is easy:

If mandriva works, as it did on my machines, it should be possible track down 
the differences, and what makes the problems. And fix it.

In the Danish IT-Political Organisation, we have also problems with people 
that cannot run our security oriented version of kubuntu: Polippix. It would 
be important to find solutions.
