Put Ubuntu HH on the rig in the sig. The screen res is only 1024x768 though? I am trying to edit the xorg.conf file but it does not let me change even thought the file shows the res I want?

Hi Wiz!
Don't know whether this will help, but on my NVidia rigs, 32-bit 8.04.1, from the LiveDVD, is proving more hardware tolerant than Updated 8.04.
Easy for me to say, with XP-hosted partition image restore when 'things go wrong', but have you tried EnvyNG ? (Doesn't work on my old [C] rig, so its probably time that I went off-line for a few days, to re-instate and check out my HD2600PRO card on my [B] rig.)
(I have found that it takes three or four weeks for new ATI release Linux drivers to filter through to Envy, so I won't be rushing to do it.)

Thanks Bruce. I didn't realise I had installed such an old version. I'll try HH and see if it improves.
