Here are a couple of links that you can try. I started down this path and found that it wasn't necessary with the latest version of kubuntu, the functionality was already built in. I would ask your question to the group as I am certain the 3rd party drivers app is installed in Ubuntu and can be accessed through the gnome menu somehow. Its the same app that installed my nvidia drivers.

Afterall, thats how I found those links. Good Luck, Michael ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
