Hello narhari .

If you will share with me were in the process you have been stop,
or what part you did O.K,then I can come up to help you out.
but it is kind of impossible to help you out is I do not know were you at
in this point of the process of the Guide.
so I need some info from you here on the issue please.

hi
this is what i have got to, i was able to make the file executable, i ran it in the terminal. then i got lost at this point we have to give the build-xorg-driver-install.sh the permission to run as program.
after that double click on the build-xorg-driver-install.shand let him run in terminal.
now we have to edit the xorg:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection after this point i tried to go further but couldn't get the same menus like you show. and when it said this step is critical i didn;t dare go further, once again sorry for being new at this , i love the rest of the distro, and i know its a learning curve, linux is all new to me, 3 days so far, once again thank you for your time and help, everyone else is a windowsthem hooked on user in the house so i can't ask them, maybe i can convert them lol

   (II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:

If we do=>we have support in 3D!
