Without it the machines failed to work in F10. I guess the process will be to check/prepare the BIOS settings, and then run up XP and load the drivers - then reboot to Fedora 10 runlevel 3 and move the xorg.conf out of the way and then reboot to Fedora again and hope that it picks up sensible settings for the new graphics card ( or move xorg.conf before the changeover shutdown) - the thing I did not know is whether after shutting down Fedora and changing the graphics card whether I would then be able to boot to Fedora even at runlevel 3 successfully to make the changes - or whether I would need to perhaps ssh in and make a new initrd?? This would be more work and of course more nailbiting pending seeing something re-appear on the screen after the changes! Maybe this is a good time to buy brown trousers before starting the changes! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Adding-a-new-graphics-card-and-Fedora-10--tp22494434p22524896.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
