Yup it is an nvidia card, complete with installation disk and linux 
installation text.

I rather thought I had installed all the kernel source files.

Aha, that looks interesting. I've downloaded the appropriate package 
(for Debian/Etch) and installed it. It is visible in my KDE menu 
although the web-site said that I should call it from an su command line.

Done that, failed. It reports that '/etc/sudoers is mode 0644 when it 
should be 0440'

My /etc/sudoers file (never heard of that one before) is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

Defaults	env_reset

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root	ALL=(ALL) ALL

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm way outa my depth here. Any further advice would be most welcome.

Nearly there - perhaps. Let's hope so anyway.
