But let's not forget that at least some ati cards (and I believe nvidia too) can not be set properly with yast. my integrated mobo has a radeon 1250 which was very problematic until a manual driver install. the problem is that anything done manually once, itmust be done the same way again! it is good that both the ati and nvidia instructions have become excellent! d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
