Hi Alejandro,

yes, you should open the bug reports here:

http://bugs.mageia.org/

you must use the account created in identity.mageia. for the 3d problem 
open mageia in failsafe mode, and start drakconf, you should find an 
entry to choose for autologin (i can't remember its name right now).

cheers,
Marcello
