The card is a 8600 GT, which does use the latest drivers. in fact, I
uninstalled 319.76 that I had downloaded from nvida to install 319.76
from repository. Duh! I'm starting to think I'm going to have to
back out and go back to nvidia's downloaded stuff. Hopefully I won't
have any trouble doing that. But I don't want to have a package from
repository still installed at the same time as the nvidia download.
There could be problems with the repository version updating and over
writing something form the nvidia download.
Thanks,
Jon
