Thanks for the reply. My first foray into the world of higher end
graphics card has started off miserably. Infact my wireless card
(linksys wmp54g) doesn't even work. I'm an optimistic kind of guy but
after spending £100 on a graphics card I'm rather disappointed.

I'm sure people are trying hard and my complements go to them, I just
wished my optimism around the latest distro would have been well
founded, I guess not.

If anyone can help me find a way round, that would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dan
