Thank you very much :-)
I have just installed 10.2 and it works like a charm.
I have only one question. How do I enable 3D on my Radeon 9250 256MB card? I have tried in SAX but the option is greyed out.
I think it needs another Xorg driver.

(User information | Send a message | 3D is a PITA on anything other than x86/amd64. Sometimes
it's enough to have the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf;
Load "dri"
Load "glx"
Option "BusType" "PCI" <-- in section "device"
Section "dri"
Mode 0666
EndSection

(User information | Send a message | Hi Thanks for the advice! It works :-)
Just a couple of questions. Is it important that load "dri" and load "glx" comes after one another? My modules section looks like this:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "v4l"
Load "dri"
EndSection
In the "dri" section i also have Group "video". Do I need that? Se below.
Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Thanks for the advice! |

I got my DRI running as well. I had forgotten it in
the kernel. :P |

(User information | Send a message | No, the order ain't important, just that they are in the modules section.
Your dri-section tells that the device is owned by the group video and the "0666" tells that everyone can read/write to it- If you want to limit access to 3D on your system, you can change to "0660", then all users who aren't in the video group gets only 2D while people in the video group gets 3D. |

(User information | Send a message | | Even on x86/AMD64 installing the closed source driver for ATi is a difficult thing to do, there been loads of people who haven't got things work properly, but the closed source driver has become easier to install with later version. But what the heack, we (PowerPC) don't have any closed source drivers, so we don't have to worry about that :) |

(User information | Send a message | :) seen loads of people who had problem with that driver too, specially on distros that don't have it's own "package" for it.
It's nicer with completly open source drivers, but sadly still no 3D for nvidia with the Xorg driver. |

(User information | Send a message | Yes, it's an interesting project, but it's been progressing quite slowly.
I think it will have a long way to go before we see a really useful opensource 3D driver for nvidia, I guess those Mac users with nVidia cards will be pleased, when it's "finished". |

What problems? They should just read the documentation :P
sh NVIDIA-blablabla.run -q
And then add Driver "nvidia" to xorg.conf. :P |

(User information | Send a message | The main problem seems to be that there are all too many illiterate people around who tries to install nVidia driver.
you need to remove the Load "GLcore" line in the module-section in the xorg.conf too. |
