Mageia forum

Hi!
My Mageia 1 KDE test ended very quick with two big bugs: The installer do the partitioning, image copy to hard disk starts and then…nothing… just a blank square for more than 10 minutes… then reacted againg so i could finish the installation.
Second bug: No compiz 3D, no configuration possible. This is a bug many other people are experiencing. Kwin crashing too so no 3D at all.
I’m sorry to say this but Mageia 1 was not a quality experience i was expecting for.
My CDs are double checked for errors when burning using md5, burned at low speed and checked again if the distro has this feature at startup (like ubuntu).
My PC is an AMD Athlon64 3000+/ 1 Gb ram/ 200 mb HD/ Biostar MB./ nVidia 6200-256Mb AGP. This is my test machine and never fails with any distro unless… there is a bug
Maybe is some kind of driver problem with 6200/7300 nvidias, don't know. I hope you can help me solve this.

Answering myself....
Downloaded the DVD installer and this time all went great, no blank screen like the live CD installer.
The compiz 3D is working now because instead of installing nvidia driver myself i let the graphical server config install all the nvidia stuff for me. Maybe i was doing it wrong but i use to install nvidia drivers first as an habit for all distros i test.
