Hmm… when I put in the new source and then I updated, for some reason I seemed to have lost my graphics card drivers! I’m not quite sure what to do here, I guess I’ll try to reinstall the drivers and I’ll see what happens.

Okay, never mind, I got it all working fine and dandy now, all I had to do was just reinstall my graphics drivers and voila! Thanks! 😀
