You need to tell what distro you are using

On a side note, is anyone getting some character corruption on this GFX card? Every one a while I see a letter messed up and replaced with some random cache from the GFX card memory. It mostly happens in Firefox, but I've seen it happen in other places as well. If I select the text, the broken character becomes normal again. Only happens in linux (Xubuntu), but not on windows.
