Thank you for that. I have just ran it on this (Dell Inspire) desktop system running Debian 6, to check it, and got " :~$ grep -B2 'Module class: X.Org Video Driver' /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 0.0.15 Module class: X.Org Video Driver -- (II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.1.17 Module class: X.Org Video Driver -- (II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.3.0 Module class: X.Org Video Driver " and this system shows " :~$ lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310] (rev a2) " so I intend to run those two commands in each of the Ubuntu and Debian installations on the Acer V3-772G system, tomorrow. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
