[battleshipterry at gmail.com]

I hope I am sending this email correctly to get to all.  I usally read 
post but do not respond much I almost made the euglug meeting this 
thursday but due to a service call I missed it.(we did say hi to the 
person at the normal place the meeting is held but had to go on the 
service call, someday I might make the meeting )Anyway I run Ubuntu 7.10 
and have a Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT PCIe and I had a hard time confiquring 
the xorg.conf  I had to boot from the onboard video card  and change the 
xorg.conf the shut down and swap cards and boot to the Nvidia GeForce 
7300 GT PCIe, I had to edit the PCIe port to 1:0:0 it was 0:2:0 in the 
X. I could not get live CD to boot with the PCIe card only the onboard 
video would This is just a FYI about the PCIe card.This was last October.

 PS I was able to get Battlefield 2 a 3d  game to run with tran$gammings 
help.but graphics are great.
