@jackobkorf, @thaDocX: Sorry, if the file is in the right location containing the correct 2 lines then I don't know why you're still getting corrupted graphics.
otherwise games stored in home / user not to mydocs If it helps
games does get install but they mess up the media files ..
songs and photos and vidoes are totally messed up ..
is there a way to avoid it and still get the game working??
I very much doubt creating a file called 'driver.ini' will modify the behaviour of the entire O/S - it's specific settings for the Driver game.
It's specific settings for the PVR driver, not for any "driver" game. So yes, it's chaging settings for the entire system. Change the windowing system there and Maemo no longer boots. That is a _fact_. You're on your own.
thanks for the explanation bro
but its still far too complicated for my simple brain!
i dont have a 2GB partition on my phone
and wouldnt possibly know how to get one!
or even what one is!
the N900 is already partitioned by default.
a few megs for rootfs, 2GB for user and program files and the rest of the ~30GB memory is your custom stuff - the MyDocs location.

No, I'm sorry to be argumentative but I think you're wrong.
Which process in the Maemo O/S references this file then?
How come ShrekKarting.ini fixes the problem with the Shrek Karting game?
Just because it's called driver.ini does not mean that it's a generic process for drivers. It's specific to the Driver game.
I've made the change (and so have others apparently) and Maemo still boots: _fact_
EDIT: Maybe you're thinking of the other 'hack' mentioned around these forums recently concerning /etc/powervr.d/hildon-desktop.ini which DOES affect the windowing system?
for what serves the line cp / home / user / MyDocs / applications / driver.ini / etc / powervr.d
driver.ini when I have saved in etc / powervr.d / driver.ini?

to copy driver.ini from MyDocs (which is accessible by your pc) to /home/user/ (which is not accessible).

No, I was confusing it with /etc/powervr.ini and didn't see the powervr.d part--previously matching by the executable name was done inside powervr.ini, where [default] means "match every executable name", which is exactly that file's contents.
But I guess Nokia created the pvr.d directory for exactly that same purpose plus ease of packaging, so I'll shut up.
