For the archive. Using Automatix to load the Nvidia drivers resolved this
problem. I have to assume from this, that the Nvdia driver Automatix loads
is deifferent than the one in the Ubuntu archive.

Also, remeber to be careful and get version 2 of Atomatix, I made this
mistake of getting V1, and made a bit of a mess of my system. Thank heavens
the Debian packageing system is robust enough to recover from this!
