I have installed the new drakxtools packages and reconfigured my FX5200 
card using XFdrake. This generates an xorg.conf file using the Virtual 
syntax. So I changed all the Virtuals to Mode manually and reran 
XFdrake. Now my card is recognised as a frame-grabber and when I change 
the configuration to nvidia, the virtual statements return.

Just for fun I installed the packages on the updatecd.idx list , which I 
got off the  mirrors. Odd things happen. The ghostscript-common package 
conflicted with previous installations and the ghostript packages could 
only be installed with the -U option. In addition I had to install a 
number of packages from cooker to be able to refresh the gutenberg and 
foomatic updates.

Also, the update cd contains the 4.0.1-5mdk gcc packages, but the 
2.6.12-19mdk kernel was compiled with the 4.0.3 version. Should the 
latter packages be included instead?

Best, Yehudi
