[ubuntu-uk] Using an Nvidia MX440

[piskie]

Yes I did - up to Intrepid, though it took some fiddling then - I can't 
remember quite what I needed to do, nor did I ever try it wine.

Originally I did have some odd font problems but they seemed to be 
caused by an oddity in my /home.

I do have copy of my old xorg if that's of any use
