"My main machine, AMD BE2300, NVidia 7050 board, properly detected the video, but did NOT select the NVidia proprietary driver by default, and could not load X11... Quick trip to the command line and use of XFdrake fixed that easily, but only someone who has BTDT would think of it."

That was probably this known bug in One:

http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2009.0_Errata#One_editions_fail_to_boot_to_a_graphical_desktop_.28xorg.conf_not_created.29

it's a bit of a head smacker, I know. During the beta period it seemed to only affect a few systems, but now we did the final release, it turns out to be quite a few - I'd guess maybe 5% of systems are hitting that bug.
