With Mandrake (especially download edition) you have to install kernel
source for the kernel you choose, download the drivers from Nvidia, run
their compile script and then change the driver in xorg.config from nv
to nvidia. The purchased edition does all that for you. The download
edition does not include any non-GPL software [IE Nvidia drivers]
