Whats important is whether the Xorg version you are running supports your new card. What I would do is. 1. Backup your current xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) so you save your current settings, which work with your current card. 2. Trun off and replace the card. 3. Turn on. If you are lucky, at this point kudzu, the hardware detector, will kick in to tell you your hardware has changed and ask if you want to configure it. I'm not sure, since I've never done this, but I would hope this should rewrite your current xorg.conf file for your new hardware... (basically just replace the driver). 4. ALl going well when you finish the boot continues and X is up and running. If not, then post your Xorg.log here for help. 5. If it does, then at this point you have a decision. If the default OSS nv driver (which is what Xorg will give you) is enough, then thats it. If you want 3D suport, you will need to install the nvidia binary driver, making sure to choose the one that is compatible with your card. Looking at http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/appendix-a.html it seems you can use the main release, and don't have to bother with the legacy ones (which I need to run) cheers Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
