[Sderby] New Linux user with a small goal.

[Russ]

Hello SiG,

I only get time to turn my pc on at weekends due to working long hours the 
rest of the week, im just answering emails now.
Getting 3D stuff to work world be great, also as you put it, to invoke it as 
the driver and change resolution is something I have not done before.

Thanks Russ.
