got round problems with bootloader, but little dissapointed to find the games wont load

supertux for example, it starts to load shown by the tab at the bottom
then dissapears

the other programs seem to work fine, but I havent had a proper explore yet
cant wait to get oriented

Welcome!

In order to help you we're going to need more info. -> what graphics card do you have? Have you installed the right drivers for it? What other games won't work?

hiya: ) thanks for the welcome!

I have an ati radeon 9700 pro

I cant get any of the 4 or so games that came with Mandrake to work
I can get names for you if you want

do you know which ati driver to install?

on the website it says ...

1. If you are not sure which version of XFree86 you have installed, please download and run Check.sh from a command line to find out.
