Its an old geforce4 mx 420 - don't go there, it works just fine for me 
on this old box and it  will handle TV and dual monitors if I so desire.

Ric's suggestions were all good but already covered - don't know how he 
thought I got there w/o doing all he suggested already.

My question was do I worry about jockey not seeing the driver - graphics 
and kernel work flawlessly so far.

Tnx for the input,
