Are you running Ubuntu? You may have it installed already. :-) It
arrived as an update sometime last week I believe. If you're keeping
up to date but haven't rebooted (or logged out/in) lately, that may be
all you need.

If you haven't updated lately, you can do so with the Synaptic Package
Manager found here:

Computer (menu) > System Configuration > Synaptic Package Manager

You'll be asked for a password - use your own.

Once in the application, click on "Reload" at the top. When it's done
reloading, click on "Mark All Upgrades". Then click on "Apply". It may
ask what kind of upgrade you want to do. I've always used the "Smart
Upgrade" and have never had any problems. In a bit of time you'll have
an updated system.

>From here, you *should* just be able to log out and log back in and
see the new graphics. If that didn't work, try rebooting the system.
If you haven't previously upgraded - there's a good chance the upgrade
installed an updated kernel that you need to reboot to use anyway.

Now... If you're not running Ubuntu, it's a whole different story. :-)
I'm sure someone knows which files to send you to make it work. (Is
the image all that's necessary or are there other files too?)

I hope that helps a little!
