I downloaded the nVidia Drivers and installed but cannot get it to run in
1024x768 mode and it screws up the screen, i.e pushes it off to the left
side. Open Office runs in giagantic mode when  use the nVidia Graphics
Drivers as well. I will try to switch screens but seems like a monumental
pain in the arse to me. Better to have RH fix the problem me thinks.
