I did some more fiddling i.e. moved the videocard back to the slot nearest the processor, the network card to the middle slot and removed the soundcard as for some reason the soundcard and the network card hate each other and it's easier to remove the soundcard and use the onboard audio (although it's rubbish) than todo without a net connection :) yast chunked along and let me reconfigure the card and set 3D although yet again it didn't stick and i had to modify the config file myself and sax decided to use the r128 driver but still no joy so probably is a bug. makes me feel a little less annoyed in someways because it doesn't seem to be me but more annoyed as it used to work and not alot i can do about it :(

In the open source world one should look at a bug as an opportunity :-)

guess now i'll have to spend my time trying to solve the nic/soundcard conflicts instead.

Probably wisest unless you plan on doing a lot of 3D programming. (A nice thick book on 3D programming in Linux is next on my "To Read" stack so I may be foaming at the mouth over dri bugs in a week or two.)
