I have read that most nvida cards don`t work in ubuntu but not sure
about now. I have tried using an ATI driver to fix my suspend/hibernate
problem but it did not help. Is there any way that I can test for a
defective hard drive? It shows 216.1gig when it is really a 120gig and
before it read as 104 and I forgot what followed the.
but I suspect it may ether be a hal bug or bad hdd?
