I cant get my Linux to recognise the graphics card even after downloading
the driver. I thought that this would be answer to fuehrer Bill and his wee
gang but its that hard to get the hang of I don't know why I even bothered.
I suppose it was the thought of a free faster than Microsoft desktop but
alas that doesn't work for me.
single click systems piss me off and then drivers that wont run and your
system cant find a function to browse for a driver to install. audio wasn't
a problem for me for the SBLive was found but the lack of modem support and
for the 6800 graphics card just tipped me over the edge.
