Enabled.

The card is: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/components/msi-nx7600gt-t2d256ez

The card is driving a Sceptre X37S 1920x1080 37" LCD at 60hz, and also
a touchscreen on the front of my silverstone case, I run myth on the
touchscreen (for music etc) when the main display is powered off.
