Thanks all - hacked the file and wheel working fine now. Interestingly
enough, two lines in the file ZAxis and the driver name were both wrong.
Now I have a slightly shameful question to ask (in as much as it exposes my
lack of knowledge). I just tried to play an mpg in Totem and it failed -
well just hung actually. Totem plays avis fine but not mpgs. ISTR (but I
may be wrong - sleep deprived new father!) it would play mpgs prior to all
this shenanigans with the new graphics card. Could changing the card have
caused this?
Oh and btw - any advice on getting Totem to handle mpgs? I've already
tried and realplayer can't handle them either so suspect it's a codec
somewhere.
Cheers
Rob
