[ubuntu-za] Kubuntu Remix

[Derick Hewetson]

Thanks everyone,

The problem was solved by using Igshaan's method below and also 
reverting to an older driver, through a roundabout way: I installed the 
via driver from Viaarena (it doesn't work), then uninstalled it and 
allowed Kubuntu to reselect its preferred driver, which then worked.

I assume the driver got confused when I reverted from kdm-kde4 to kdm in 
KDE3.
