I tried to download the matrox.rpm from the SuSE ftp site but didn't quite
succeed in doing so. Keep in mind that I tried to download using windows,
since I haven't managed to set up linux yet because of all this crap I'm
running into (I'm trying to, that's why I keep posting these messages!).
First of all, the RealPlayer plugin looks kind of weird (all bloated) and
second, after the download I get an error message when I try to play the
thing. This is the first time I've encountered RealPlayer during a download.
What's the deal with this? The bottomline is; I can't download from the SuSE
ftp site. I also looked for the matrox.rpm on the XFree86 site but couldn't
find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
