[ubuntu-za] Screen problem with Intel MBD.

[Wesley Werner]

Hi Ian,

In that link read all the words and the release notes, it contains the
instructions.

I have a NVidia 9800GT card, an older model but fits my needs well.
Half Life 2 and Doom 3 runs in WINE fine, and it spins the glxgears
and gl screen savers too.

Interested to hear what others have?
