    hey guys

    The card in question is a GF4 MX440.

    I installed the nvidia drivers through automatix, and it failed... after reboot the screen turned grey and flashed with black lines (had to restore a xorg.conf backup).

    i then tried installing the drivers with apt, which had the same effect (only this time i edited the xorg.conf file to say vesa [i had changed it to nvidia]).

    any idea's why this fails?

    ubuntu Edgy, automatix2.

    thnx, impy

    EDIT: windows 2000 is having problems too, the screen goes blank (no signal) when i run diablo 2 or eve online...
