Since I've been having some problems getting XFree86 to come up
properly, I've been wondering if I shouldn't just get a new video card
to eliminate the uncertainty of what card to specify in the config
file. Two questions:
1. If I say, "Chaintech nVidia GeForce MX400 64MB AGP," does anyone
break out in hives? Is there a list of video cards that are
either very well supported or have been problematic in practice?
(erm, Three Questions!)
2. There used to be a configurator program that allowed me to pick
video cards, monitors, etc. from lists, but this seems to have
been left in the dustbin of CVS. Currently, I am aware of two
ways to configure XFree86:
A. run
"XFree86 --reconfigure"
and hope it does the right thing (which in my case it doesn't),
or
B. edit the config file by hand, making sure to spell everything
right.
Is that it, or is there a utility that replaces the old
configurator and allows that kind of constrained choice?
