I'd tried from the Nvidia website but I have to figure out what product I
have (automated search not supporting Linux) and as I do not know how to do
that, i was hoping for an easy fix.   Fixing driver  in device section is
also something i do not  know how to do.  I'll try to figure all this out
get back if I can't.

thanks
