I don't have a directory called i586. i586 is the type of computer I have right?
And why would I have a directory called i686 in the first place?

Okay, I do have an i686. I got confused bacause in the mandrake control center it says:

System: Mandrake Linux Release 9.0 (dolphin) for i586

Also, the drivers have i586 in the filename, but I dont think that is a big deal. So, why would I be getting a "segmentation fault" with that file in the i686?

Also, in my hardware profile, it doesn't have information on my video card (a radeon 9700 pro). It has blank info, null, and unknowns. Could this have to do with something?
