thank you for your interest.
I run glxinfo by means of these steps:
when the blinking on the X begins, I enter CTRL ALT F2 entering a cli console
login as root
pstree -p|grep xfwm
kill -9 <pid>
repeat the last two commands once: now there is no process of xfwm running
CTRL ALT F1
blinking stopped, right-click in the background, start a terminal and enter
- Code: Select all

Perhaps I should mention, that some years ago I tested Mageia6. In order to run X properly it was neccessary to switch off the acceleration of nouveau. To do so, I entered the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=video=LVDS-1:1600x1200 noveau.noaccel=1 in /etc/default/grub.old ,
but now with Mageia8 this doesn't help. Certainly I have another problem.
By the way, there are no X-problems with the live-distris antix19.3 and devuan (which have other probs).
I checked the start with "Boot with non-free nvidia driver". This stops with the lines
[ 19.470959] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[FAILED] Failed to start. Run DrakX installer X setup scripts.
Fedora kicked the older NVIDIA-driver out marking them as obsolete and offers only packages Nvidia..340 and 390 for newer cards.
I don't know whether Mageia8 offers an appropriate package, but the Inspiron 8100 has a Geforce2Go and needs the package NVIDIA..304, I assume.
