It's pointless to dump the driver from Mandriva as-is. The right way forward is to split the (huge, ~2MB) diff to upstream X.Org -sis driver in logical pieces and push them upstream for review and inclusion.
 
I already started, but it takes a non-trivial amount of effort to get it going, without any hardware to test the result on. Besides, I'm no driver developer, and learning-as-you-go is slow.. So don't hold your breath.
