Mandrake 9.1 SLOW after panel loads, it isn't my systems specs

I have a problem with Mandrake Linux 9.1. I have a radeon 7500 and i hear that the two shouldn't have any conflict. When i boot up linux, everything boots up nice and fast, and then when it gets to the part, "starting display panel", it runs very slow from then on. Everything is sluggish and if i click on something, it'll actually click it three seconds later, but my mouse moves around fine. Any ideas on what this might be? It does it under kde 1.3 and gnome. Much appreciated in advance. I can give you more of my info if you need.
