boatman9 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I plan to install a different AGP video card in my desktop because I want a card with s-video output as well as output for my monitor. The new card is from ATI and will need a different driver than my current nvidea card. I'm guessing I won't have any X11 capability until I have configured X11 for the new card. Is there some console mode tool I can use to identify the new card and configure X11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Bergen Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I did that awhile ago and the system found the new card on the next boot and setup the drivers for it then booted into X11. I have since reinstalled the Nvidia card as the ATI/Radeon drivers for older AGP cards are even worse than those for Nvidia cards.

xboxboy Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I could be wrong, but I think I used XFdrake from the cli to configure cards in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatman9 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 After installing the new AGP video card I booted the computer. As expected, X failed to load, but I had the option to make some configuration changes, apparently using XFdrake. I wonder if there's a console mode version of the entire MLCC?

jkerr82508 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) I wonder if there's a console mode version of the entire MLCC? drakconf (MCC) and most of the drakxtools can be run in text mode.
