Finished the installation of 0810. Everything seemed to go as explained here:

After reboot, i went through the setup. The video setup didn't act the same as 7.10. The video settings that I used in 7.10 would not work in 8.10. Had to pick another and many did not work with my monitor.
After it continued, I got this:
"Orbiter failed to setup the transparency. Please check if the transparency is running!"
That's as far as it gets.
I ran: sudo -s /usr/pluto/bin/AVWizard_Run.sh and re-ran the setup.
I have an older ATI video card... do I need to replace this now?
