[plug] TNT Drivers Debian

[Robert Andrews]

Whew thanks for that I hope some one else has a better solution I would like
to continue with Debian
but not at the expence Of my graphics card and other devices.
I have quite a few other driver problems with my Debian system as well i.e
Logitech cordless opticle mouse scanners,printers scsi drives soundcard and
so on .I had non of these problems when I installed RedHat (Well not as
many).
