There are issues in Intrepid with Nvidia drivers for legacy Nvidia graphics cards, however, Nvidia has recently released a new beta driver for the 96 series which has just made it into the intrepid repositories. Might I refer you to Albert Milone's blog at: http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/ and also bug #251107 at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/251107 for further information in this respect. Hope this helps, regards, Steve -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
