Behind you... Naked!
Ok, I am stuck in Hospital right now, so I am a little bit stuck with what I can download, so please bear with me.

I have with me, my trusty ASUS G73W Laptop that I have been using For linux and its been rok solid for me, however, I have just reinstalled the latest Cinnamon Mint and I have a couple of issues...

When it restarts, its always asking about checking the Drives, and CTRL-C to abort etc, and thats an irritation, but so be it... It could actually be that I neededto properly reformat the boot drive fully not just the /

Anyway, the real question, is the nVidia driver. It gave me the full rez when it started up, and when I did the search for the extra drivers, it did not find the nVIDIA? - its always done that, but not with this version.

I also then had check, and I see that NO nVidia drvers are in, and so I forced them in and it went to low rrez on a restart, but it still would not find any driver ater that, and now its stuck in 800x600 or whatever this rez is?

As I said, I am stuck in hospital and that is the ONLY version of Linux Ihave to install, and so, is there a reaon or is it just that my install has gone iffy?

The GFX are GTX 460M and so they may be old, but surely they would still be found???
