i got it working i had to copy the files over by hand

but i havnt had anyluck with the shadows and transpernt features that one of 
the menus offered after a restart it would error and tell me to add 3 lines 
to the xorg.conf file and i did restarted and still got the error i am not 
100% sure on the location of these option anymore did to much head to desk 
to day with the glx

speaking of which does anyone know if there is a way to get DRI to work with 
a nVidia 6600 card

also does anyone know if there is any form of driver for a rage 128 procard 
that might work with the x86 version of FC4 T3 i really want to kill this 
last windows pc but thats the only card i got and i dont have the spare 
money to get a new card i need the driver to have some form of glx dri or 
opengl for gaming"older games" and maybe some opengl screen savers ive been 
looking all over but all the google links to the ati site are to pages that 
have been long removed
