New Video Card

[Nick Danger]

Hi ho ~
I am currently running SuSE 8 Pro on a self-built PC. My video card is a Diamond Monster Fusion. I am going to upgrade to an ATI All-in-Wonder 7500. What should I do prior to changing the hardware (download drivers, etc)? I don't want to try to boot up & not be able to see anything...

Thanks,

Absolutely, get your drivers first. There's a possibility that your linux will recognize your video card, or approximate it. Then, if you need to load specific drivers, well, there you are. Just gotta get a way to put them on cd if they are large, or you can put them on floppy if they'll fit.

Do you know where I can get "We're All Bozos On This Bus" and "Everything You Know Is Wrong" on CD, or even cassette tape?

(of course, I'm assuming your "Nick Danger' is from the FireSign Theater repertoire.)
