[LUNI] nvidia 9755-r1 drivers and fonts

[Mike Scott]

I can't say for sure as my Linux box is currently down due to a failing
WD drive.
I have an RMA replacement on its way, and hope to transfer the contents
to the new drive before returning the old.  I don't want to risk it
going toes-up before I dd the old drive.

Anyway, are you sure the resolution is 1280x1024?  The reason I ask is,
when I installed that system using Kubuntu, the LCD (DVI input)
reported 1280x1024, though the display looked like 1024x768.
It turned out the video card was running 1024x768 and trying to
up-convert it to the card.
