[ubuntu-uk] Using an Nvidia MX440

[piskie]

xorg attached I hope - if not I'll post it

it's the one I was using when I had the card - pretty sure that when I 
had the card I was caught up in all that Michael alludes to - I know I 
had to use proposed at the time to get it.

I looked at my nvidia thread - I think that in the end I did a clean 
install and it worked for me,

this was the issue I had with it to start with - but that was when the 
driver was beta still
