you got the result.

however, I want to quote some details (remember, 10.1):

* from init 3, startx don't works (on my computer), need to init 5 to 
have X/kde (not tried startkde)
* I had to delete the xorg.conf file to have it rebuilt with 3d 
activated, even with the -r option
* the ati driver got with YaST (following the wiki) don't works - this 
is not surprising, the kernel number don't match completely -lat 
numbers different)
* I use 24 bits (max value) and secondlife starts (don't know why the 
readme file asks for 32bits)
* of course sl is extremely slow, nearly unusable

thanks
