Hi Richard,
It's a 6200 series and the driver is the nvidia but it is version 171.06
not the latest on Ubuntu 8.04. I've used envy before, I'll try it again
and see what results.
Thanks

I had a similar problem sometime ago using nvidia non-free driver. I
suspected compiz causing X to freeze but it turned out that nvidia driver
wasn't installed properly. After I reinstalled the driver from nvidia's
website, everything solved.

There used to be a card called a PC Weasel 2000. Haven't heard from
them for a while. Worse still, I think it was a ISA card.

Thanks Luke,
I followed the link, there's little on that site that I'm not doing now, in
fact only one option in the xorg.conf file is what differs.

this was fixed by a restart). Strangely enough... I've realized that

Then you've misconfigured the card... or you've been rooked.
OK, your problem is either a hardware fault or a setup fault, and I
strongly suspect the latter. The card you have is perfectly respectable
unless you want to play the latest games. I have set one of these up in
the past with no problems. I have also set up a TNT2 and a GeForce2 MX,
