To get the best out of the card, you need to get the special files available from nVidia. The web site is http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_ia32_1.0-4191 If you can't get to the site with that address, just try http://www.nvidia.com and then look for the linux display drivers download section. Make sure you follow the instructions faithfully as there are various versions of the two files which are used on various architechtures as well as versions within these architechtures. Hope this is of some assistance to you. Regards Peter
