     Hi Howard
It has been one of those days, 1st Kubuntu screen trashed,  then my hi 
speed modem needs to be rebooted 4 times to finally come up, then I 
wanted to print your instructions and my lazer jet is feeding 3 or 4 
sheets at a time.
Howard I have a nvidia Ge Force 6100 n Force 405.  I did got to terminal 
and everything looked fine so it must be in my xorg.conf file.  I've 
been a little hesitant about working from a command line,  but nothing 
ventured nothing gained.
I can do the change from terminal right?   BTW what is the command to 
quit terminal??

Thanks
Fred
