Hi Jay, I just got things back up. Harty is still the same. No Internet
and poor x windows. I decided to get Jaunty fixed. That is a big joke!!!
I have zero luck fixing x windows problems, none,zip!
So after trying several things to fix the installed Jaunty which
included removing the old nvidia drivers, I decided correctly it's
easier to just re-load Jaunty.
I did this and the x windows is running fine and I have everything
running like it should be. Now it is back to getting other things
working like, the darn bios boot sequence started with the hard drive. I
fixed that so I could reload Jaunty.
