Do not include the cut here lines. Do include the # signs, which makes me wonder if the first for the rc.local file, is complete or correct, cause both lines are commented so no drivers are shown. What mother board do you have? and are you sure you copied the lines in their entirety? You can copy the lines with kedit or gedit text editors, probably the easiest is to navigate to the files and open with "advanced editor". HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
