Os there a local linux user group you can contact to ask for help,
sometimes if you attend a meeting someone should be able to help or
given prior warning they can come armed with extra info to help them get
things working,  or for example a usb stick with drivers on.

worth a try.


I will probably upgrade to 9.10 some time in May 2010,  after the Lucid
release, that way the main issues should be fixed.  Right now I am happy
with 9.04.   Upgrade from 8.10 went great,  video in websites seems a
bit hit and miss, but its not essential.
