Colony CD 4

[Benjamin Montgomery]

I installed Colony 4 this afternoon.  The install was successful as far
as I can tell.  I only had one problem with the install.  When X
started, the display was out of sync and barely readable.  My card is
detected by the installer as, NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440],
which is the correct card.  The only way I was able to solve the display
problem was to install the nvidia driver from universe.  Other than that
everything is working great! (usplash looks great)

Let me know if you need more info on the video problem I had.
