Thanks (: Now I just need to get my keys for Doom3, Doom3 ROE and Quake4 to work. Since the reload, the clients claim that the keys are "in use". Emailing Activision hasn't yielded anything in about 5 days. Which brings to light some of the reasons I like FOSS software: 1) No stupid serial keys,

Good day Thanks for your response. Suspecting that there could be a problem with the card itself (rather inconveniently coincidental, since I just bought a new mobo, psu and ram after a power surge (as far as I can ascertain) killed my PSU and I wasn't sure exactly what was dead, and just wanted t

Thanks for the thoughts. A couple of my own: 1) I'm beginning to suspect a very badly timed GPU start-of-death here. I'm hopefully going to be able to borrow another card this weekend to test. One of my supporting arguments for the dying-card theory is that I booted back into my very old 8.10 32-b

I have an nvidia laptop I might test later (days) for this, as I want to try out Jaunty. I can tell you that 180 drivers on my 8800M on Intrepid worked fine. I don't know if Jaunty has messed up, though. I don't know how to help you directly. On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 12:59 AM, Davyd McColl wrote:
