I have on my machines here: nVidia GeForce Ti4600 - no problems, automatically recognised, automatically set-up and automatic download of nVidia drivers through YOU nVidia GeForce FX5700LE - no problems, automatically recognised, automatically set-up and automatic download of nVidia drivers through YOU nVidia GeForce FX5900XT - no problems, automatically recognised, automatically set-up and automatic download of nVidia drivers through YOU nVidia GeForce FX6600GT - no problems, automatically recognised, automatically set-up and automatic download of nVidia drivers through YOU SiS laptop chipset circa 2000 - no problems, automatically recognised, automatically set-up. ATi Mobility X700 - automatically recognised, doesn't set-up to a usable configuration, must download and install ATi drivers before any graphics environment can be used, need to manually re-install display driver after Kernel updates, no 3D support, a total PITA... Thinking of throwing away a perfectly good laptop and replacing it with either a nVidia based laptop or a MacBook Pro... -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure.
