Hi Hannie,

I'll add a tag stating it needs a re-work and ask the group on
ubuntuforum[1] to give it an edit. I don't have nVidea cards so I feel it
best that the guys from that area give it a tidy up. I'll add a
subscription to the page so that I am alerted as and when they do the work
so the tag can be removed.

Regards,

Phill.
