Hi Claire,
Is it something new since what I tested ?

Ok, I just tested the driver packaged in Mageia 2 testing.
The test is not positive.
- the resolution is not the optimal resolution, 1024 large instead of 1440.
- some zones in the screen are mixed. I join a screenshot.

x11-driver-video-nvidia96xx-96.43.23-2.mga2.nonfree
nvidia96xx-doc-html-96.43.23-2.mga2.nonfree
dkms-nvidia96xx-96.43.23-2.mga2.nonfree
============
The problem seems to be nvidia stuff related, because I had tested from the source and had the same problem.
Geforce 4 Ti 4200
