I’ve never been successful in installing the proprietary nvidia drivers with Mageia. Is there a feature, planned or present, to enable these drivers during installation ?

When will Mageia offer the Mate desktop
Html5 youtube videos on firefox 16.0.2 don’t show images only sound. (intel gfx). The brightness control on gnome show the icon but not the bar. Cheese cam doesn’t show image and crashes…
but everything seems to be way way stable and functioning well, this is strange for such a early alpha as even fedora 18 is still crashing left and right
Thank you for the feedback. But please use https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewforum.php?f=15 for investigation.

Is There Mageia with Openbox?
openbox is packaged in Mageia. See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Presentation_of_Mageia_for_beginners#Graphical_environment or see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Media_center_with_Mageia for customized use as a Media center (htpc).

I have tried Mageia 2 & 3 Alpha 3. The system does not recognize my empty partition. I have BIOS enforced RAID 0, and the error is always the same “I cannot read the partition table of device. I can try to go on, erasing over bad partitions (ALL DATA will be lost!).
The other solution is to not allow Drakx to modify the partition table.
Do you agree to lose all the partitions?”
I then select No
5. Infinite loop at “I cannot find room for installing” requiring reboot
Will this work with my GeForce FX5200 graphics card? Couldn’t get Mageia 2 to work with that… I am hoping that is fixed in the new version… I’d really like to stick with Mageia if possible…
