Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using an Nvidia MX440
Kev, Thanks for your xorg file. I noticed it uses the 'nv' driver and I am trying to get the version 96 driver going but it will give me a guide. I noticed some other posts about this card on this list so I will let you all know how I get on.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using an Nvidia MX440
Oh - sorry - I didn't even look at it :( tbh I think I was mucking about with it helping someone on the forums - that xorg was my working one with TV out etc before I changed my card and was using the 96.43.09-0ubuntu1.1 driver.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using an Nvidia MX440
Yes I did - up to Intrepid, though it took some fiddling then - I can't remember quite what I needed to do, nor did I ever try it wine. Originally I did have some odd font problems but they seemed to be caused by an oddity in my /home. I do have copy of my old xorg if that's of any use Kev Steve Baugh wrote: I have two Ubuntu systems, this one using an Nvidia 8400 quite successfully and anther one which is only used for my Amateur Radio activities.
