I tried this and it did the trick: Before starting X, log in as root and run XFdrake. You can select a resolution there and it should set things for your card.
Thanks for your help anyway. I will tuck this email away for future use. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dennis Myers Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 7:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] video card swap out On Monday 29 April 2002 08:31 pm, you wrote: > I'm trying to swap out a Trident TGUI9440-3 PCI video card in favor of a > Cirrus Logic CL-GD5446.

It will get to the configure X stuff and you can configure for the card there if it doesn't auto detect. It will ask if you want to check the configuration and you can click yes as in the original installation. You should see all the little penguins. It is quick and easy.
