Are three lines of nonsense really necessary?

was it necessary to post this twice?? Who knows .. but the Wheel of Karma must have had a reason , or the Gods are all sleeping , or life wouldn't be so crummy today. I'm taking a "do over" tomorrow. Do over a screwed up install ( it doesn't see to LIKE the nvidia Rave 64 AT ALL!. It only allows a root login to do anythign EXCEPT the business of adding users changing password ( not even root can change a pword!!!) AND then... it wipes out soemwher along the way and startx doesn't work ... yast 1 doesn't come up ... and most of the folkders are empty of content ( Saw that before it ate itself! )

I used to have a simular thing w/ 7.0 , but if I installed it w/out the 3d package, it would install , and surprisingly would give me opengl 3d w/o my asking again???!!

also for the rest of you having problems w/ it doind the updates w/ yast 2 doesn't help much. BUT, I figured out what was causing the "fade to black when I'd press one of the arrows in the "test configuration" Dont hold them down, just click and let upm they will actually move teh thing, center it, stretch it or whatever is needed , but holding it down ( any arrow on the screen) will make it go to black, adn sometimes it never comes back... <sigh>

Tomorrow , a pair of new video cards for home??? UGH!!! That's going to cause some crankiness at table ! Anyone have suggestions for a nicely behaved reletively innexpensive vidiot card?? SAy under $150, and anyone wawnt ot tell me what is a nicely behaved high end ( for moi , I pay for it , keeps the complaints to a minimum! OR better yet, is it posible there will be a fix available .. like NOW!!! <VBG>

PMS anyone!! Bloody doctors!

afterthought--- I saw this in a cartoon once, but I think I can do it ...
