According to the nvidia site I think you should possibly be using a newer driver for the 7300 LE? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-260.19.29-driver.html Check the supported products tab. Hope this helps. I got fooled with a similar issue with a different card a few months back. Cheers, Mark
