Either they could have one large package with everything it needs to install the one that you do (somewhat akin to CUPS, though I know it doesn't have absolutely everything within itself). Or, they could have a detector package which surveys your graphics hardware and picks the right driver package to download and install. I had to go through the same crap with Windows 98SE, eons ago: You'd buy a card and it came with a driver CD-ROM full of a gazillion drivers for your card, and a plethora of other things (often with dozens of things unrelated to your kind of hardware). Then, you had to figure out which one to install by divine inspiration. It didn't probe and do it (or if it did, it got it wrong). Your best chance was to look at the chipsets on the card, and try to find a driver with similar details in the filename. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.45.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 13 17:20:51 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
