That worked! Thank you!

I do DCC and was hoping to get to try Maya out in linux as I'd heard good things about its performance. I was worried I'd have to scrap linux yet again and go back to windows.

What I wonder now is why that option didn't work before... I'm not exactly clear on the effects of putting different options in different sections of xorg.conf. I had that option present before, but it was in the Screen section not the Device section.

Thank you! I will go back to the Ubuntu forums thread I started and post the fix now.
