Any particular drivers i would need to download?

Have you tried the Creative X-Fi drivers for Linux?

Oh ya i saw that, i didn't know they were released yet though. Awesome thanks

Also, im getting mass FPS fail. Like 15-20 while moving.... All graphics on low etc. Perhaps new nvidia drivers are needed? Im new to linux and i dno where to get them

*EDIT* Not sure if im blind or just stupid, but i cant actually see where to download it, reading it all, it says about the mailing list? How would i join that? Sry for stupidity....

You go to Creative's support site, pick your card, and select Linux as your OS from the drop-downs at the very bottom of the screen. Or if that's too hard, try this.

As for nvidia drivers, get them through your distribution's update service, whatever distribution it is. (You forgot to put it in either your sig or your post.)

Distributor being brand of graphics card? That would be XFX wouldn't it?

I thought the whole fuss over the X-FI drivers is that creative didn't support linux and that someone else had to do the dirty work? Why do they have them? I'll look on the site anyhoo, thanks.

No, for graphics cards, your Linux distribution. (E.g. Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) They repackage the nvidia or ATi drivers to work with that distro. And the drivers work regardless of who manufactured the card.
