@ k3lt01 yes i know, but the reason i pointed that page out again is because the driver related info is at very end and i believe like many others i completely missed it when i saw that page for the first time.

i would like to point out that i am still facing problems with the video. sometimes a video plays fine but at other times system completely locks up with a black screen and nothing works and i cant even log into other tty's (pressing Cltr+Alt+'F1/F2/F3)

from what i have read this has something to do with the memory allocations.

i havent checked if system is accessible through ssh at those times as i had papers to submit. i will check once if the crash happens again.

p.s sorry for the late reply but i was on winxp for sometime due to paper as open office refused to open my .doc files
